"Crony capitalism, sometimes also called simply cronyism, is a pejorative term used in political discourse to describe a situation in which businesses profit from a close relationship with state power, [...] In other words, it is used to describe a situation where businesses thrive not as a result of free enterprise, but rather collusion between a business class and the political class."

So if cronyism is prevalent in US to some degree then a person who does that best shouldn't be criticisized?
So please provide evidence how Tesla, SpaceX or Starlink have benefited from "a close relationship with state power".
You realize that prior to the latest election, the government generally was opposed to Elon Musk. He was investigated by the SEC, and attacked by politicians.
That sounds like the opposite of crony capitalism.

Maybe you should start with some evidence first? Honestly, it sounds like you just don't like him and you're mad that others do like him.
Now that you’ve brought up political money and public and private interests, I’m starting to think you don’t like his politics and that’s about it.
I can think of any other business who doesn’t spend millions for politics and “commingle public and private interests” (whatever that actually means).
