Important and appropriate A1 play in the NYT print paper today for the story Kirsten Grind and I did on the 11 federal agencies that had targeted Musk companies for investigations/lawsuit that have now been disrupted in a way that benefits Musk. A free link as well.

from what I just short-handidly looked up, RICO violations include;
- Using an enterprise to commit illegal acts
- Acquiring or maintaining an interest in an enterprise through illegal activity.
