Whoah whoah whoa. I don't care for Elon, but let's be intentional about using "far-right". [Caveat: Assume USA left and right parties are discussed] If we keep throwing that around when we mean right leaning or politically right views then anyone on the right is going to be "far-right" and we're never going to work together. I think that the other comments to you are to point out where Elon has fascist or Nazism beliefs. Maybe use https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Far-right_politics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Far-right_politics as a start?

Elon is far-right. I meant what I said and I said what I meant. I'm very familiar with far-right ideology. No need to link to Wikipedia >If we keep throwing that around when we mean right leaning or politically right views then anyone on the right is going to be "far-right The GOP is a far-right political party. They are fundamentally anti-democracy. >and we're never going to work together. We aren't going to work together regardless because the far-right GOP doesn't want the same things as most Americans. They are a political minority that can wreak havoc on the country due to poorly thought electoral systems. >I think that the other comments to you are to point out where Elon has fascist or Nazism beliefs. There is more to the far-right than having Nazism beliefs. American far-right is Christian Fascist. Elon Musk is a fascist a la Henry Ford.

  Ok, let's keep throwing out accusations without any proof. Umm...Elon...Elon once told the queen of England that he wishes he could be a queen!

He provides vocal and material support to fascist and far-right causes such as vaccine conspiracies and transphobia. He's anti-labor, anti-safety regulations. I'm guessing you're one of those folks who want to pretend he's not far-right until he openly wears a swastika.

      Linked "article" quotes this tweet of his: My pronouns are Prosecute/Fauci > In five words, Musk manages to mock transgender and nonbinary people, signal his disdain for public-health officials, and send up a flare to far-right shitposters and trolls. Heh. I have a disdain for throwing shade and hyperbole, am I also far right cmh89? :)

        >Heh. I have a disdain for throwing shade and hyperbole, am I also far right cmh89? :) I don't know. How often do you pal around with far-right people and help spread their rhetoric? That would be a good indicator. If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and walks like a duck, its probably a duck. Likewise, Musk has adopted far-right talking points, wants far-right approval, and supports far-right causes. He's probably a duck huh
