b_m_b_m_b_m Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 So it’s actually very bad that another conservative has taken over another media/social media outlet. Twitter is far from perfect but it’s easy to see how it will get worse given the attention that the White South African has complaining about how twitter has been silencing conservatives and conservatives voices (read: complaining about not being able to do racism and transphobia) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve never met a conservative who’s into solving climate change, so I’ll give him credit on that. The whole freedom of speech thing I think is his annoyance at having to moderate what he says. It’s like he thinks freedom of speech will allow him to say the teenage idiocy he’ll say without consequences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Covid minimalism (in 2020!) transphobia, and mocking the idea of the wealthy (like, you know, him) having to pay more taxes makes you a conservative.

b_m_b_m_b_m Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Smoking weed doesn’t make you a moderate, and being for you own business doesn’t make you a liberal on climate.

stepee Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 I don’t think “let’s not let the climate of the world become inhabitable” was supposed to be a conservative vs liberal ideal, it’s just how things turned out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s actually very close politically to many younger conservatives! He doesn't line up with either the Republicans or Democrats -- and has mostly been apolitical. He claims to be an Independent, and has donated pretty equally to both parties. Idealogically, he is all over the map. In the past he has been (somewhat) critical of Trump, strongly supportive of green house gas reduction initiatives, critical of pronouns in non-LGBT+ Twitter bios, supported Andrew Yang, is anti-union, is anti-business subsidies (sometimes), is anti-lockdown, pro-vaccine, anti-vaccine mandate. He is inconsistent and mercurial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His affinity for yang notwithstanding (and that’s just tech bro solidarity) you just described a young Republican. The donations to dems? Means nothing that’s just business. Even trump did it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn’t grow up extremely wealthy though. I think you can also see how different Elon is today compared to even in the early days of SpaceX. I think it is the media hype that created the fertile ground for his ego to grow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
