1. I suspect that Trump and Musk want those profits for themselves.

Everything they do makes sense if we view it as their desire to take everybody else's profits - whether gained fairly or not - and force them into their own companies.

It makes sense that they're going after UnitedHealth, a company making obscene profits. Musk and Trump want that money for themselves.

Musk Co isn't doing this out of any desire for fairness. They just see a huge potential of money.

It has nothing to do with Luigi or fairness or legality.
