Elon Musk Just Announced If He’s Conservative Or Liberal

OPINION | This article contains opinion. This site is licensed to publish this content.

The world’s richest man, Elon Musk, says he is liberal, but argues that “woke progressives” have been pushed to the extreme left. As a result, today’s leftists view him as a “far-right bigot.”

Musk shared an image on Twitter to illustrate his political position that uses a stick figure. In 2008, Musk support Barack Obama and shared similar views as other liberals at the time.

But by 2012, when Obama was reelected, Musk’s fellow liberal is drawn racing off to the extreme left. Musk’s stick figure remains in the same spot, but appears close to the center.

In 2021, Musk says his “fellow liberal” is now a “woke ‘progressive’” as Biden entered the White House. This shift has completely rewritten the boundaries. Take a look:

It has also shifted the center sharply to the left, leaving Musk’s “me” far to the right of center, even though he has never moved position.

The liberal he was once close to is shown now calling him “Bigot!” — with the conservative figure, who has also remained unmoved, chuckling “LOL!” in response to Musk’s open-mouthed “me.”

Musk elaborated in the comments, agreeing with Shibetoshi Nakamoto when the mysterious Dogecoin creator replied to the figure, “This is how I feel.”

Nakamoto said that “10 years ago i would have called myself progressive cuz i believed in equality and not being an asshole over trivial things.

“Now i consider myself moderate because i believe in equality and not being an asshole over trivial things.”

Musk replied, “Same.”

The cartoon came as huge chunks of the left have freaked out about Twitter’s takeover by Musk, who Forbes estimated to be worth $221 billion Friday.

It has sparked unfounded attacks on his political beliefs, too, including MSNBC anchor Joy Reid’s wild suggestion that the South Africa-born Tesla boss wanted the social media platform because he “misses” the country’s apartheid era.
