What does Jason Johnson criticize about Elon Musk's understanding of government?

Jason Johnson criticizes that Elon Musk fundamentally doesn't understand how government functions for regular citizens, despite being a major recipient of government funding throughout his career. According to Johnson, Musk only knows 'that government pays him' but lacks insight into what government actually does for ordinary people. Johnson argues this disconnect has been problematic from the beginning and is why people have been able to resist Musk's influence. He suggests Democrats should criticize this situation more aggressively, as Musk is attempting to 'shake up' government agencies without understanding their purpose or operations.
