If Elon survives this with enough of his empire intact and a rerun to center left, I might consider going active on X again. But I suspect we’ll be left with scorched earth there.

Nothing is too dark or too stupid to talk about.

I’ve done a bit of reading (ok, ChatGPT has) and while you’re right about the first two groups, labour unions seem to be generally regarded as centre left. Nonetheless, I still argue Musk can’t pull off an Arnie. Too far gone.

Abundance crowd

None of these groups you mention is is center left. They’re all left to far left.

And who exactly from the center left would want Musk's support? Trans rights activists? Social justice advocates? Worker unions?

Conceivably, a person can believably shift their political perspective during the course of their life. But once they've committed horrible acts in the name of opportunistic greed, not all their wealth and promises of Humanity 2.0 on another planet can make up for the human cost incurred.

So your suspicions are probably right. 😁

I think that's an over estimation... a third voted for Harris, a third voted for Trump and a third didn't vote.  Of the Trump supporters surely a swath of those have been helped by those agencies or have no opinion on them.

Elon is popular... but is he popular enough without Trump?  Unsure.

About half the country who think those agencies and orgs are pure evil

You may not like the guy, but he’s very popular with a big group, all the crazy included

Who could trust him after he stole data on US citizens and organizations and gutted agencies who were investigating his companies?

Aligning yourself with Elon is political suicide, even if he is throwing around a ton of cash.

A non-zero chance that he has his businesses de-owned, Russia style. Things are getting scary in the US.
