I’m not convinced of anything but brain dead takes like “he’s a conservative!” are not going to help identify his underlying motivations.

- braingenious 4y agoAh yes, it is “brain dead” to say “The guy who is telling people to vote for republicans is a conservative.” While that would make sense when describing literally anybody else, since it is Elon we must consult the ancient runes and see what the prophecy portends for the messiah.
- programmarchy 4y agoYes, taking statements out of context and using them to paint a one-dimensional image of a person, whether it's Elon Musk or anybody else, is brain dead.
- braingenious 4y agoWhat does the word conservative mean to you? I’m aware of it as a political leaning that people express by showing support for candidates and policies. It does not mean “bad word that no apply to mr hero Musk man” to me. edit: The whole concept of “The fact that he came out and unequivocally expressed his opinion that conservatives should be in charge of the country is only a tiny bit of minutiae about his fractally-complex unknowably wise opinions on conservatives” is one of the silliest things I’ve ever read. It is exactly the same phenomenon that you’ll notice in elderly Facebook posters that love to dissect the hidden meaning in Q drops.

Conservatives in general are pro-business anti-regulation, anti-union etc... Democrats tend to be on the labor, humanist/individual and consumer protection side. This is like the history of civilization and the simplest explanation I've found.
