Musk getting political again? Oh no, what a surprise...

jasoncartwright Jan 27, 2025 View on HN

Musk's political views are pretty hard to miss nowadays

Because it's Musk following his own agenda and he apparently isn't the president

Then explain all the news about Musk and Trump.

Given Musk's political affiliations, it seems unlikely that this was the intended outcome.

I think Musk has political goals.

Musk is an outspoken critic of the current administration. Given what we've seen from the Justice Department over the last few years, does it not seem highly likely that this is politically-motivated?

Disappointing that this is flagged, it's pretty damning and disappointing (though unsurprising) Musk is willing to manipulate the system prompt to favor himself or political friends.

I don't think it's a secret that Musk has been cosying up to the Trump right for a while now.It's only a nasty comment if you find those individuals deplorable, and Musk clearly doesn't.

They mean he disagrees with them politically. By American standards, musk is still left wing and just doing what many Americans are either indifferent to (setting Twitter prices) or broadly agree with (his distaste for 'woke'ism).
