What is Musk’s political persuasion?

I’m thinking he’s mostly for George Washington but seriously...

Musk is a looter.

A visionary perhaps, but he robs you to achieve most of his goals.

He usually finagles LOTS of taxpayer dollars for his projects, in one way or another.

He wants to teach an AI how to recognize satirical humor, and eventually how to be satirically funny - a crucial milestone in the development of AI capable of convincingly mimicking a human and having “personal” interactions.

In humans, the ability to recognize good satire correlates strongly with IQ. Meaning this is pretty advanced stuff, as you would expect from Musk.
