Referring to Elon:
In 2020, the former Democrat, who used to extol the virtues of his company Tesla regarding its support of LGBTQ+ rights and financed candidates from both parties (though he abstained from presidential campaigns), was asked by the New York Times journalist Kara Swisher about his political views: "I'm socially very liberal. And then economically right of center, maybe, or center. I don't know," he told her. He wished only for the president to be a "normal person with common sense and whose values are smack in the middle of the country."
What caused Elon to convert from a left leaning to right leaning?
I think it's a combination of democrats attacking tech companies relentlessly over the last 4 years and Trump being easy to manipulate and bought.
The article alluded to cryptocurrencies being huge Trump donors which promptly changed Trump from anti-crypto to pro-crypto.
