BS. There’s a been a long history of criticizing Musk. His political stance is nothing new.

His political stance is new though. A lot of people feel the same way as Elon, long term Democrats are bewildered at what the party has become.

Hell, even CNN is backpeddling with the current Democratic party's agenda: https://twitter.com/TPostMillennial/status/15378570794105774...

Meh. Any group has their wacky extremist. Their existence is nothing new.

I just listened to a Vox Conversation where the guest said fat phobia wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t for black people or slavery. It was insane and I felt like I lost IQ listening to it; but it would be naive to think the other ends of the political spectrum isn’t also crazy. That’d be like saying Alex Jones represents the Republican Party.

Elon describes himself as a moderate, the closer to the center you are the easier it is to go back and forth over the party line. Don’t read too much into it.
