This is a private business transaction between two companies owned by the same individual. While Musk is described as a 'Trump ally,' the merger itself involves no government action, policy change, regulatory decision, or constitutional mechanism. No drivers score: election (private M&A), rule_of_law (no legal/judicial component), separation (no government branch involved), civil_rights (no rights impact), capture (private-to-private transaction, not government capture), corruption (no public office or funds involved), violence (none). Mechanism is explicitly null. This is purely a corporate restructuring decision. B-score reflects moderate media interest due to Musk's celebrity status and the large dollar figure, but remains below threshold at 16.5. Clear noise: private business deal with zero constitutional implications, regardless of owner's political associations.
