Musk: "In the past, I voted Democrat, because they were (mostly) the kindness party. But they have become the party of division and hate, so I can no longer support them and will vote Republican. Now, watch their dirty tricks campaign against me unfold."
You should tweet at him that you're doing as you were told.
- nix23 4y agoWell he's not wrong, what's wrong is the 2 party ruling system in the US, the choice between plague or cholera. Just look at Schwarzenegger, he's absolutely does not match the republican "standard" but even less with the democratic one, it's kind of sad. Same with Sanders...
- steve_taylor 4y agoI personally don't agree with his choice of political party and I'm worried about the Republican/Trump rabbit hole he's been going down for a while. But he's absolutely right about the dirty tricks campaign and that's exactly what we're seeing with this article. It reads like an opinion piece, but isn't labelled as one. It's pretty poor form even for The Guardian.
- WalterGR 4y agoIs any of it factually incorrect[1]? Does it mark a change in tone for The Guardian in re. Musk or Tesla? How does it compare to articles about similar subjects? “Hit piece” is a low-effort drive-by dismissal that reeks of news hate endemic to my friends on the other side of the aisle - and not unbiased analysis. [1] The burden of proof is obviously on them and not you, but “They’re being meanies!” isn’t much of a rebuttal.
