You can't have this argument in good faith at the present moment because the institution is under attack not because of a pragmatic reason as you describe but because the joke of a president is mad at a private citizen for their speech. Ignoring all previous Musk love or hate that somebody may have, look at the action that may take place here - the government taking adverse action against a private citizen for their speech.

We can have the pragmatic discussion AFTER the fascism is over.
