With the level of dealings he has with government, its no wonder he is moving to our side. Just as President Trump did years ago, for very similar reasons.
He’s still a liberal, he’s just upset he wasn’t given all the exceptions other elite inner party people did.
He has liberal leanings, but he’s a capitalist first.
hes a liberal that likes money.
but hes also built most of what he’s got from public money too.
I was wondering about that. For the longest time I had heard he was a raving Leftist. Now he seems like he has his head screwed on straight. Guess maybe it’s never too late.
Not exactly. He is a crony capitalist first.
Rumors are drugs are in the mix. Who knows.
Let's see how long that lasts.
He was a liberal who got mugged by reality.

You do realize that was coined to explain Neo-Conservatives, right?
That political ideology invented by Trotskyites and the primary ideology of the majority of the current “conservative” Never-Trumpers?
Anyone who follows Q, knows what the Red Pill and the Blue Pill are. Check Q-Drops
Maybe becoming a father did something.
Umm, that liberal/mugging idea came a LONG time before the Neo-Con thingie.
Probably describes many of his here, they just happened to get mugged a bit earlier in life.
Candice Owens got mugged, Tammy Bruce got mugged, David Horowitz got mugged, I will get that this lockdown will mug many, many others also!!
The Matrix is exactly where I got it from. Looking forward to part 4. And, I don’t quite believe this means much regarding Elon.
But that’s what popularized it and the slogan they took to define themselves.
But, in reality, no. The mugging by reality doesn’t work for actual leftists.
It will work for those who’ve been go along to get along with leftists without any real thought into it so self identified, incorrectly, as leftist.
But actual leftists are what they are because that’s how their brain works.
Leftists brain function is not much survivable when times are harsh. That’s why in harsh times there’s not a whole hella lot of leftists running around leftistisming. There’ll be some, but rarely ever enough to reach critical mass and destroy everything around themselves as is what leftists do.
But, in easy times, leftists flourish. So there’s more and more of them. And as populations grow, there’ll be more leftists within that population.
And eventually, the leftists gain critical mass.
Everything is destroyed. The leftists die off faster and more completely than the rest.
And civilization has to start all over.
the TL&DR version:
Bad times make hard men.
Hard men make good times.
Good times make soft men.
Soft men make bad times.
