The most charitable reading of your comment still leads one to question what you would consider the right if Elon is far right. I am pretty sure he is a moderate leaning both ways on differing topics.

That's not what the parent wrote though. They were Elon is promoting the far right.

I see the disconnect that you are pointing out but I did mean to address his point with his response rather than take the focus from his actions to him directly.

The point still stands though, how is he promoting the far right? I understand the far right to be organizations and individuals who have no affiliation with or acknowledged support from the registered political organizations of Republicans, but whom still chose the Republicans to support because they believe that side of the political divide to be more likely to produce results that they would be happy with.

For example StormFront (or whatever the current Nazi organizations go by) which I would expect to be receiving no support from Elon, Twitter, or anyone affiliated with the national, state, or local Republican parties. An example from the far left would be NABLA (or whatever the current pedophile organizations go by) which I would expect to be receiving no support from Elon, Twitter, or anyone affiliated with the national, sate, or local Democrat parties.

He is for sure far right. He's against increasing taxes on the wealthy, vowed to lobby against transgender health care, endorsed Republicans in the midterms, launched Desantis's campaign, and constantly rails against woke culture. There is not an ounce of left in this guys body.

I seriously question the motives of people saying this guy is a "moderate." You cannot gaslight America into thinking the far-right is middle of the road.

I don't care what he "is" or might be; his actions objectively helped the far-right. Whether he did it to troll, to "restore" some imaginary "balance", or because he genuinely believes in far-right topics, he still very materially helped far-right speech - and he clearly did it on purpose.
