You don't think anyone on the left holds that position? Even the Hacker News crowd has previously upvoted stories like this: > [The proto-fascism of Elon Musk](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35998913 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35998913) And elsewhere around the world you have this type of stuff. > The Nation, Sept 2023: Elon Musk Is a Threat to Democracy > The Information.com, Oct 2022: Elon Musk's Management Style is a Threat to Global Democracy > Irish Examiner, Dec 2022: Why Elon Musk's Twitter takeover is a threat to democracy > CommonCause.org, Oct 2022: Elon Musk Twitter Acquisition Poses Risks to Our Democracy I find it hard to reconcile seeing all this sentiment towards him, while also asserting unequivocally that nobody on the left would compare "threat to global democracy" Elon Musk, to Hitler.
