Didn't he just throw his support behind the Republican party, the leader of which is Trump? How can you say Musk doesn't align with Trump when he is a supporter of Trump's political machine? It's not like Musk ever found the Republican party attractive before Trump turned it into what it is today. But post-insurrection, the GOP suddenly looks like a party worth supporting for Musk.

He resigned from Trump’s appointment in protest and stated many times that he’s a centrist and wants to rid Twitter of the far left and far right. Your description of the world as pro and anti trump is a massive oversimplification of reality. There are so many shades of grey between your black and white.

He said that but he also said to vote Republican in the midterms. The Republicans are the party of insurrection, not centrists. And besides, what does being a “centrist” even mean anymore when one party supports and foments a literal coup?
When Musk is tweeting “kek”, unbanning insurrectionists, banning left leaning journalists (not even far left!), then it’s clear that he’s not actually about balance. He’s signaling he is part of a particular tribe whose chief is Donald Trump, not that he’s a centrist.
