I've thought about it and I've decided that I can live with that. Besides, I don't think it will make it to that level of popularity before "the incident" that shocks everyone and triggers a senate inquiry.

Either there will be horrific side effects or Musk will cut quality or make an 'executive decision' that beams ads into everyone's head.
