I dunno, you tell me. Are the royal you unable to ignore tech influencers? Who are 'tech influencers' and what do they influence? The RFC process? Google? Microsoft? Linus? RMS? The Open Group?
to pretend that elon musk isn't a tech influencer is purposely trying to punch an elon musk-shaped hole into the definition of influencer. not every CEO or billionaire is an influencer but he is and he's having a pretty outsized effect on government policy inasmuch as he gets to make it up whole cloth now
