It's a spanner where every quarter turn costs noticeable money. Which directly funds behavior like this.

The tool analogy is intentionally minimizing, and doesn't capture just how different rented tools with constant surveillance are.

Doesn’t absolve the spanner-wielder from responsibility, though.

We live in an age, where the mere thought of personal Responsibility is terrifying.

		Yes, I mean it in the sense that the spanner itself and who the spanner funnels money to is so bad that anyone using it has automatically accepted themselves being that bad. Unlike most tools (which the tool analogy leans on heavily), it's very much not an impartial tool, there is no such thing as "using it responsibly" when you're paying Musk.
