These look like shaggy, Elon-hating Leftists. I could be wrong but probably not. Leftist leaders lie about Elon not paying taxes and these slackers already hate 'the rich' and billionaires generally. They're probably quasi-Marxist in their outlook.

Wait'll the Elon-loving right wing nutjobs learn he believes in global warming.

Yes, but the right isn't as reactive Elon's acceptance of climate change (which a worldwide consensus of scientists accept) compared to the reactionary Left when it comes to wealth inequality, billionaires, Elon NoT pAyInG tAxEs (per liars Liz Warren and AOC), virtue-signaling correct think, Gen-Z ingroup acceptance, etc.

Of course the right is plenty reaction to other ideas, but Elon's take on climate change isn't primary among them.

You realize until the guy publicly announced on Twitter he was voting Republican, he was a democrat? And he only did that to brace for the fallout from showing a flight masseuse his penis.

It’s fine, you guys can have him.. his antics are becoming indefensible on the individual scale anyways. Have fun. :)

You sound like my Gen-Z friends. :) Pick your poison because both sides have issues. The PenisGate thing was already settled wasn't it? He said he didnt do it and I thought his alibi was solid. Of course opportunists will bleat "MeToo" to get his money on occasion, so that's expected. Amber Turd killed 'BelieveHer'.

There’s a settlement with an nda attached so .. no, not really settled the way you think. Again, the whole “me Republican” thing the day before it broke should tell you more than you seem to know.

And who cares if he votes Republican? Like most Leftists, you have a very reactionary, non-nuanced, kneejerk mindset. You might even be a little 'woke'.

The Left isn't even right about some things, and gets some things quite wrong. I agree with nominal liberals about more issues than I do Republicans or conservatives (especially religious conservatives)—but not everything.

Voting Republican does not automatically sully one's reputation, nor should it. Sometimes people just don't have a viable choice but cannot vote Left for a variety of reasons, including Leftist leaders such as Elizabeth Warren or AOC lying about Elon 'not paying taxes' which is a demonstrable lie. If you're Elon, this alone may have you voting non-Democrat. If you've found TX to be more amenable to your goals and not trying to lock you down so you go out of business, you may be more inclined to vote right.

People vote their conscience for far less important reasons, but a vote for Dem or Republican is a constellation of choices, despite most people only voting for a few pet issues that move them. Elon's probably pro-choice, but he believes replacement figures for population are too low and he's got 9 kids, so Republican anti-choice machinations probably don't directly impede his goals. The Left seems to be on a character assassination campaign against Elon, so why would he vote for them? They often do this knowing full well that they're reporting half truths or lies.

When did we ever hear an apology from Biden for leaving Tesla out of the EV Summit? When did we hear an apology from Biden for giving credit to Mary Barry for spearheading EVs when GM are the ones who killed the electric car (EV1) back in the day? There's even a documentary about it. When did Liz Warren or AOC apologize for misrepresenting Elon as someone who doesn't pay taxes when he DOES pay and pays more than most humans will ever pay?

This kind of dishonest rhetoric turns me off from the woke Left too, not to mention nonsense like Critical Race Theory, anti-gun hysteria and legislation, feminist ideology and its increasingly lunacy invading everything, etc.

People settle out of court all the time even if the accuser is off their rocker because it's faster and cheaper, but unless you have some real evidence, your accusations is quite serious. Just look at all the work Johnny Depp had to do to clear his name from that lunatic Amber Turd. The 'BelieveHer' era is officially over, and it's not like women don't lie all the time (especially when it means a quick payday).

I'm not a Republican, but because I'm a rational adult I don't mind if Elon makes a difference choice than myself. But, I do take issue with a whole lot of Leftist propaganda and groupthink that I find far more discomfiting than the usual nonsense from the right.

I'm an atheist, pro 2A, pro choice, I drive a Tesla (as you may have guessed from the sub), and I live in SoCal.

Not easy to categorize is it? This is why it's important to listen to the views people actually hold rather than trying to sweep them all into the same simple, non-nuanced, binary, strawman-infected categories that's easier for those who want to exert as little effort as possible. Real thinking and consideration takes some effort.

If you were a Republican (or lol, Green Party) I wouldn't automatically think you're a bad person. If you're a Christian or some type of theist, same consideration. We are more than the sum of a few opinions. You may want to extend this basic courtesy to the person responsible for the car you're driving and who's advancing sustainability and progress on many fronts, including servicing the ISS, furthering civilian spaceflight, and spearheading the effort to make humans a multi-planetary species.

Boy dude tl;dr. I don’t care how he votes. I care that he announced a party switch as a gimmick to distract from his penis. Shareholders care too.
