It's because he would unban Trump. They think because he does things that are beneficial for his company that it makes him right wing. He says it himself. He donates to both parties, moreso democrats barely, but he donates to both because (it is the cost of business in this country).

He is a huge environmentalist whose entire business is predicated on climate change. He was furious we left the Paris accord. Has stated many times he thinks direct rule and no government is the best rule (like lmfao how dumb). But, his business decisions are more right wing in being anti-union and such.

People don't realize that he runs a business and does what's best for the business. He can't change the overall means of production across the country through his own company.

Heck, libertarian is another label thrown out for him. I think Musk says it best though. Moderate with economically more conservative / right of center tendencies, but socially clearly liberal.

But, since he thinks pronouns are a confusing mess he is probably considered a bigot and thus a republican, I assume.

This just feels like a lot of excuses for why he does what he does, when he has more power than almost anyone to directly affect change like hes allegedly doing with Twitter, if you believe his stated reasons for purchasing it.

Like saying he cant be pro-union because he runs a massive business is completely false. If he still doesnt understand pronouns after this many years of trans rights issues, it shows he doesnt actually care to learn. Also, thats massively understating his anti-trans rhetoric.

Just because someone is on the left socially doesnt mean they cant be bigoted. TONS of people like that are. For high profile examples, see JK Rowling or Bill Maher. Musk has shown his beliefs to be a lot closer to theirs than a true social justice ally.
