At the end of the day capability is capability. Cronyism is when a lesser tech is given preferential treatment over better options due to fraud or deals. If Musk tech is superior (which at present it is) or can be offered at lower prices or where no alternatives exist that is simply good business. In fact cronyism would be to weaponize legislation to favour the less competitive European options. This gives people higher prices and less capability. The complaints to or by politicians should be over why their investment / regulatory framework so prohibits European tech companies from competing or having similar capital / capability! A sovereign nation can restrict access to any tech (see North Korea) but you then likely turn your country into a technological backwater. There is also the broader economic implications. Which commercial enterprise will invest significantly in a nation who shows itself likely to take ownership of a private enterprise or block world leading tech with biased laws based on simply not liking the CEO. These draconian authoritarian laws are precisely why business people run to the USA, where they encourage capital investment, allow private enterprise to thrive and grow. TLDR: don't be dumb or don't complain about the repercussions resulting from dumb choices.

GEORGE CARLIN SAID IT BEST: "I'm talking about the real owners now, the real owners, the big wealthy business interests that control things and make all the important decisions. Forget the politicians. The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice. You don't. You have no choice. You have owners. They own you. They own everything. They own all the important land. They own and control the corporations. They’ve long since bought and paid for the senate, the congress, the state houses, the city halls, they got the judges in their back pockets and they own all the big media companies so they control just about all of the news and information you get to hear. They got you by the balls. They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying, lobbying, to get what they want. Well, we know what they want. They want more for themselves and less for everybody else."
