There's nothing "moderately right-of-center" about the people and messages Elon has been amplifying and to suggest otherwise only embarrasses yourself.

Some are, some aren't.

They range the American spectrum from somewhat leftist to pretty far right.

Elon Musk tweeted out a Weekly World News-tier conspiracy about Paul Pelosi. That's not moderately right of center - that's social media brain rot. I read that article and would personally be embarrassed to associate with any person who thought even for a second that article was credible.

Elon tweeted "Follow {the rabbit emoji}" earlier this week, which is a code phrase of the QAnon conspiracy movement, which is a fascist movement, so no, he is not signaling that he is "moderately right of center"; he is signaling that he is fascist.

I didn't know it was and neither has anyone else I've asked. Odds are higher its supposed to mean "going down the rabbit hole", a common English expression and probably linking to his bugbear about previous Twitter's moderation practices.

That’s how far out qanon this stuff is. Are you surprised that you and your friends don’t recognize their dog whistles? Because they sure seem to recognize them when they are used.
