    Weird to have a “But” in that title. An “And” or no connecting word at all would make more sense. “But” suggests it was okay to influencer lawmakers if only he was truthful instead of spreading misinformation.

      If Musk had legitimate criticism of the bill grounded in facts, then I believe it would have been perfectly reasonable to make an attempt to try to influence lawmakers. The issue here was the use of misinformation, influencing lawmakers to make decisions contrary to what a factual argument would lead them to have made.
