Where does Musk fit into the lib imaginary? Like the standard MSNBC /Russiagate/ Pelosi-girlboss lib. Do they see him as apolitical because he is outside electoral politics, and "cool" because he's an MCU-adjacent billionaire who offers a stream of futuristic fantasies? Will they turn on him? DID they turn on him?

    This group is too large to make a meaningful generalization about. But going off twitter I think they broadly dislike him because of his Trump flirtation and occasional posting about wokeness being bad

      Didn't Musk have some pretty notably right wing takes recently? I remember people were saying that it was a sign that his attempt to brand himself as "real life Tony Stark" had failed and he was trying to pivot to being a right wing guy, and other people saying that it was just his mask slipping because of course he's always been a racist white South African.
