Many people think Musk is in the top percentiles of &quot;using money well.&quot; While I think it is always appropriate to want the government to run better, it&#x27;s probably not fair to set such a high bar for it.<p>One might just as easily say &quot;no VC should invest money in any company whose founder has a poorer track record than Elon Musk&quot; which is of course a ridiculous posture.
