Elon Musk sells Tucker Carlson his conservative vision of progress.

From the POLITICO article:
Musk is no reactionary, and progress is not the exclusive domain of the left. The man has a very distinct set of social and cultural beliefs that he seeks to propagate through his various technological and business endeavors. When the beliefs in question were, for example, the importance of clean energy, Musk was a hero to progressives. Now that it's the social-media equivalent of a Hobbesian state of nature, or a pro-natalist attitude that many on the left view as retrograde or eugenicist, he is a villain.

That's what happens when you become an outspoken fascist.

His costly incompetent side hustle @ Twitter is to control the narrative under the guise of "free speech", his free speech.

HAWTHORNE, CA (The Borowitz Report)—One day after SpaceX’s first test flight of its Starship craft, Elon Musk claimed that the rocket exploded in midair because it insisted on working remotely.

“Starship was performing perfectly well when it was on the launchpad,” Musk said. “The trouble began when it left.”

“I urged Starship against working remotely, but it insisted,” he added. “Well, who was right?”

The SpaceX C.E.O. said that Starship’s misadventure should be a lesson to all those employees who insist on working from home.

“If you work remotely, you, too, will explode,” he warned.

'What’s that going up in flames? Why, it’s Elon Musk’s reputation'

..."For years the billionaire convinced an embarrassing number of people that he was a visionary who was going to save the world. Increasingly, however, he is being revealed as an incompetent narcissist who is doing his best to set his brand on fire. Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Nope, it’s the rapid unscheduled disassembly of Elon Musk’s reputation."

For an allegedly smart guy he sure has that King Midas in reverse thing in spades.
