Herbert Ong(@herbertong):Tesla's Robotaxi oversight has the same protection as Texas data centers: a new governor could appoint regulators but couldn't quickly replace entire boards or rewrite rules alone. That's @CernBasher's argument. He points to staggered six-year terms, Senate confirmation and independent agencies. At the TCEQ, the first current commissioner's seat turns over in August 2027, with Senate confirmation not expected until 2029. The Texas DMV also has a nine-member board appointed by the governor and confirmed by the Senate on staggered six-year terms. Political rhetoric can change overnight; these regulatory bodies were designed not to. $TSLA
