- Making enemy lists is bad in general.
- You overestimate the influence of these people/entities. Blackrock is an asset manager that just executes what customers (=investors) want, when different groups of investors want different things BR even votes contradictory to itself on shareholder meetings. Elon Musk seems influential but his followers aren't lemmings. He runs an EV company that appeals to Democrats and a social media company that appeals to Republicans. Has one of these two ventures compromised the other? No. Likewise Bitcoiners that like Elon wouldn't change their stance on Bitcoin. Jack Dorsey is only important because of the money he pours into the ecosystem. Ask a random stranger in a bar tonight and I bet they wouldn't even know the name "Jack Dorsey".
