Tesla CEO Elon Musk is among the most popular business leaders with many supporters. In 2020, Musk’s net worth has increased multi-fold amid the sharp rise in Tesla stock. When it comes to political leanings, Musk’s approach has been eccentric. He has called himself a “socialist” and “independent and politically moderate” but “economically right of center.” What are Musk’s political views?

Musk’s political views aren't straight forward. He was critical of President Trump before the election and said that he “was probably not the right guy” as he “doesn't seem to have the sort of character that reflects well on the United States.” Later, Musk joined President Trump's advisory council. However, he left the advisory council a few months later when President Trump withdrew the U.S. from the Paris Climate Deal. President Trump's decision wasn't a surprise. He had openly talked of exiting the Paris Climate Deal during the election campaign.

Elon Musk's political party

In a tweet in June 2018, Elon Musk said that he isn't a conservative and called himself a "moderate." The next day, he called himself a “socialist.” Musk also supported Andrew Yang for president in the 2020 election. Yang advocated the idea of UBI (Universal Basic Income). The idea is too left-leaning even for most of the Democrats.
