This is the way Formula 1 has worked for a while now. If it’s not explicitly against the rules, it’s allowed until the end of the year and the teams can piss away all the money they like on the short-term benefits, possibly at the cost of long-term multiyear development.

I wouldn’t want to spend $100K+ on a car with the interior quality of a 10 year old VW Golf*.
Fun Fact: Microsoft’s (at the time Micro Soft) first product was a Basic compiler for the Altair 8800.
I’m just sitting here reading this whole thing and thinking that the reason for it all is that Bill Gates is what Elon wants to be when he grows up and realizes that the defensive nerd mentality does him no favors.
I think you’ll have a less awkward time giving a comprehensive sex ed course with descriptions of all of the different LGBT+ orientations and basic BDSM protocol at this point.
