From a populist's perspective, maybe; but the populace doesn't hold much sway over the government's intent or actions which is obvious if you've been paying attention any time in the past, uhh... century? at least a whole century. OTOH, the biden administration holds a fair amount of control over multiple regulatory and legal bodies. The FAA and F&WS somewhat, but much more overtly with the FBI (Jan. 6 roundups, multiple trump probes including previous failed impeachment, etc.) and ESPECIALLY with the DoJ. The insane amount of - often completely frivolous - litigation they've been saddling Musk with for the past 2-3 years is glaring or perhaps even glowing proof. The plainly unlawful suit over not hiring non-ITAR-compliant immigrants at SpaceX which had the gall to suggest halting all operations at SpaceX for the duration of the lawsuit, and then clear bias with Boing! and Below Orbitgin sueing for and winning gibsmedats (Starliner getting extra money despite firm fixed-price, HLS being turned over to Blue Moon after Artemis IV) are pretty relevant and you should have heard of at least THOSE three lawsuits if you pay any real attention to spaceflight news.

I'm trying to stay on topic here but there's also the numerous DoJ actions against Tesla to consider; the biden minecraft admin is very opposed to musk and openly wields the Department of Justice as a weapon against his companies. I really hate how much even private spaceflight gets infested with politics.
