Musk used to be part of that exact same "other side" (American liberals) you're complaining about until California wouldn't let him keep Tesla factories open during COVID. So he completely flip-flopped and is now peddling Great Replacement bullshit. The thing is, Musk's political ideology is "whatever strokes my ego". Always has been, and the same applies for a lot of other billionaires, especially California types[0]. Most political ideologies are not going to bend themselves to your whims because they're too busy actually saying something. Narcissists will be eternally disappointed by them. On the other hand, fascism isn't a political ideology at all. You can love-bomb specific people who are desperate for power and control with it because fascism fundamentally doesn't say anything. Every other ideology will eventually tell you 'no', but fascists will say whatever is necessary to get critical power players on board with shutting down democracy and stifling dissent. > Also the current X does far less steering (in any direction) than the censorship heavy regime of the past. Musk's Twitter is far more blatant at pushing right-wing political narratives than it was under Jack. Furthermore, Musk is not a free speech extremist. He looooves firing people at Tesla and SpaceX who say anything critical of the company they work for. This is not how you run a successful business, this is how you stroke the Great Leader's ego. This even leaked over into Twitter's moderation policies, which were changed multiple times to justify the banning of ElonJet, an account that was created specifically to embarrass Musk for flying private jets. [0] In general, I find California's blue state credentials to be highly suspicious. This is the state that gave us Ronald Reagan, after all.
