That's easy: people who disagree with his recent political shift. It's extremely obvious, because I see it primarily among the progressives in my circle.
- onethought 4y agoI would hazard a guess that the billionaire class’s political views are not the same as regular people. I don’t agree with what I understand Elons politics to be, but I can empathise. Tesla got screwed over by Covid restrictions in a completely arbitrary way in the US, which to me explains some of the anti-covid/right-wing-in-US stuff. The US is caught up in a bit of polarised political environment that makes little sense from looking outside in.
- mullen 4y agoThe Republican party is a Fascist party (Support for a Fascist President and supported a failed Coup) and Elon has voiced support for the Republican party, thus, Elon is a Fascist (AKA, Super Villain). It's does not take much to draw a line between the two.
- rlt 4y agoYeah no, you don't get to dismiss half the population as "fascist".

- dragonwriter 4y ago> Yeah no, you don't get to dismiss half the population as "fascist". The Republican Party isn't half the population, and, even if it was, it is quite possible for half or more the population of a country to support fascism. Popularity isn't a rebuttal to accusations of fascism.
- dllthomas 4y agoPopularity is a rebuttal to dismissal, although it is not clear to me whether that's actually what was going on.
