On Tuesday, I reported how Elon Musk had given an interview to a tech podcast and said that he would be voting Republican, perhaps for the first time.
He also said that Twitter has a “very far-left bias” and that he viewed his effort to buy Twitter as a “moderate” take-over to stop that bias.

But he didn’t leave it there. He decided to go all-in and throw caution to the wind on Wednesday. Not only did he say that he confirm that yes he would be voting Republican, he ripped them as the party of “division and hate.”
In the past I voted Democrat, because they were (mostly) the kindness party.
But they have become the party of division & hate, so I can no longer support them and will vote Republican.
Now, watch their dirty tricks campaign against me unfold … 🍿

“In the past I voted Democrat, because they were (mostly) the kindness party,” Musk explained. “But they have become the party of division & hate, so I can no longer support them and will vote Republican. Now, watch their dirty tricks campaign against me unfold … 🍿”
That is right on target when it comes to the Democrats. But he knows saying that will bring consequences.
“Political attacks on me will escalate dramatically in coming months,” he warned, assessing what would be coming next. He predicted that the “dirty tricks attacks will be next-level.”

Pretty much. The dirty tricks attacks will be next-level.

Musk may already be getting hit for his failure to row in line with the narrative — Tesla got booted from S&P 500 ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) Index. The reasoning was in part because they had a “low carbon strategy.” Um, they make electric cars? What other strategy do they need? They also said there were “claims of racial discrimination and poor working conditions” at one of his Tesla facilities.
While Tesla was booted, Exxon was ranked in the top ten which shows you how much such a ranking truly means.
Exxon is rated top ten best in world for environment, social & governance (ESG) by S&P 500, while Tesla didn’t make the list!
ESG is a scam. It has been weaponized by phony social justice warriors.

He delivered a great meme showing just exactly what such a ranking means.

It seems he has a very good sense that they’re going to level both barrels at him now, without holding back. He’s already shown a willingness to stand in there and take them on, so let’s hope he can continue to stand up to them and completes his purchase of Twitter. They fear that loss of control and that’s why it’s so important that it happens. Hopefully, he can hang in there, because we can see it’s already having a positive effect, even perhaps with things like Jeff Bezos speaking out against Joe Biden. When one can challenge the power it weakens that power against all of us.
