But under this new scenario, will Berkshire management have to come to Washington, hat in hand, to declare their allegiance to Elon or something? I’m being a bit reactionary and facetious here, but my point is will the success or failure of a company be more about their personal relationship with who is in charge, and not mostly about earnings from now on?

Consider post-1989 Russia. Lots of oligarchs created early on, but as the strongman took ever more power, a fair number of them found themselves arrested, exiled, assets seized, and so on. What have you said that the strongman didn't like? What do you own that the strongman wants?
