..... at various branches of government. First thing on Musk's list was to trash those investigations, trash the investigator's files, and trash the people who were involved in any investigations against eLoon.

Then to suck up all the files at various agencies where Musk's companies were involved in competitive biding to win large government contracts. Seize the bids of competitors then re-tool Musk's bids so he could now win the valuable contracts.

Access to the inside proprietary information from the bids of his competitors made winning new bids much easier for Musk. Plus the proprietary files included detailed information about his competitors that should not have gone public. That gave Musk an upper hand over his competitors to gain access to this private info.

Then finally Musk wanted all the government information from their extensive databases with voluminous private info about the citizenry. This data was worth billions on the open market to setup Artificial Intelligence systems.
