SpaceX said to fire employees involved in letter rebuking Elon Musk

Is your post implying being conservative is inherently bad? It seems like that’s the unspoken crux of your argument - ie you actually have an issue with a “conservative” (I hesitate to label musk as one) winning the culture war. Conservatives make the same argument about “don’t be political” when liberals are winning.

I’m mostly in agreement with what you said, but I don’t think your reasons are coming from a principled place.

For me the weak point in that post is using the phrase "coming out and supporting Desantis" to refer to Elon Musk responding to the questions of if he'd be voting republican ("tbd"), and who he's "leaning towards" ("DeSantis").

That said I think it's a horrible look and DeSantis's response to the matter is one of the most tasteless and tone-deaf things I've heard from him all week.

I like this take in The New Yorker[0]

Why is supporting a republican a horrible look?

I'm neither suggesting that supporting a republican is a horrible look nor that being conservative is bad. Please be careful not to derail this into partisanship.
