I would hazard a guess that the billionaire class’s political views are not the same as regular people.

I don’t agree with what I understand Elons politics to be, but I can empathise. Tesla got screwed over by Covid restrictions in a completely arbitrary way in the US, which to me explains some of the anti-covid/right-wing-in-US stuff.

The US is caught up in a bit of polarised political environment that makes little sense from looking outside in.
