>>You're talking about Musk becoming open about his backing for an authoritarian, cult-of-personality party?

Musk doesn't have any good alternatives, unfortunately. He's supposed to back the Democratic Party, that relies on a long-tradition of union-backed left-wing violence to intimidate the opposition? [1] The party that fanned the flames of 500+ riots in the summer of 2020, leading to dozens being killed and billions of dollars worth of people's livelihoods going up in flames?

The party that is aggressively moving toward authoritarianism, and trying to silence/cancel any one who speaks out about it, like Glenn Greenwald? [2]

The party of lawyers [3], who early on pushed aggressively for CCP-style lockdowns and vaccine mandates [4]?

The party fully backed by elite anti-Free-Speech movements? [5]

Even when the GOP were under Trump, the Democrats weren't clearly the more moral choice.
