It works well if enough people believe in it, but it's meaningless if not. You can drive down the middle of the road, on the wrong side, etc. Your car still works fine and most other drivers will get the hell out of your way.
If one chooses not to be bound by such things, society must resort to "kinetic" solutions to the problem: speed bumps, road blocks, puncture strips, PIT maneuvers. Putting down EVEN MORE PAINT beyond a minimal amount to be visible just isn't going to work.
Legal architectures are painted traffic lines in our government. If enough people believe, they make things safer.
So unless/until someone makes Musk go home (and he's got expensive men with expensive guns near him 24/7), Musk will continue doing whatever the hell he feels like.
