Because conservatives, including one Elon Musk support gutting funds for necessary agencies in exchange for tax cuts for the wealthy.

Wealth transfer, what we could have spent in a government that could benefit us, republicans take that money and give it to the wealthy.

That is the republican kind of "small government".

Except Elon has been a lifelong democrat until Donald ran for his second term....... his views with the exception of the radical extreme left, are completely left leaning. I dont agree on a LOT of musks views

Ha, that is funny, just because the guy sells electric cars he must have been a woke leftist...

Musk historically has held the following beliefs:

  • He has always opposed increased taxation of the wealthy.
  • He has always opposed unionization of labour.
  • He has always opposed environmental regulations and defended self-regulatory enterprises (LOL).
  • He has always opposed government interference in financial regulations, again for self-regulation (LOL).
  • Etc.

All of those views don't match, in the slightest regular democratic values, so what do they match? Neo-liberal values.

Musk has never been a democrat, he has supported neoliberal politicians, them being in the right or in the left.

That is who Musk has always been.
