This flies in the face of the pro life movement and is 100% legal. I’m of the opinion Roe V Wade was an unconstitutional ruling and it should be left up to the states. That means you have the right to go to a state where it’s legal to get it done if you so desire. You shouldn’t be able to force all states to participate though. Musk is just pro freedom apparently and doesn’t fall into any political category.
So Musk isn’t an evil Republican afterall…

I’ve not seen anyone really call him a republican.
I think the appeal for most, including myself, is that he’s willing to call the left out on their outrageous ********. Which is very unusual for any high profile moderate/libertarian/etc.

Yeah most don't think he's a republican. He's a libertarian/pre-insane era Democrat.
They terk ar jabs! I don’t give a **** about Musk’s views on abortion. I want him to clean up Twitter and either make it better or ruin it. Tired of misinformation, propaganda, and BS bots. Clean it up or get rid of it
The problem with Musk is he will do something really solid and then go off the rails. Dude can do some real good in the world with his money. We will see if he does or he will be yet another Bezos.
His Starlink project and other initiatives have helped a lot though.
We will see??? Is that a serious comment? The dude invented the first retail electric car, is currently putting together a global satellite internet system, and is building tunnels to rework the transportation system in major cities. I’d say he’s already done more for our civilization than all the other billionaires and politicians combined and continues to go further.
Putting his name with Bezos in the same sentence is beyond insulting and extremely out of touch.
Oh he’s enemy number 1 for the left at the moment and is routinely called a fascist and right wing extremist. Maybe not on this board, but across the internet. It’s all garbage, the guy dances to his own tune.
He’s done a great deal yes. And I hope he continues to do more. He’s the kind of innovator needed. He also gets distracted (like this mess with Twitter) but overall I like Musk.
This mess with twitter? You mean the mess of saving the country from a one-party rule (anti-democracy)? I guess we know where you sit as far as politics. Twitter ain't gonna be hiding the facts and HEAVILY influencing elections anymore. Thank God he stepped in.
Not trying to argue, but you fail to understand just how important this Twitter thing is. Censorship is one of, if not the biggest threat we are facing today. His assault on censorship is at the very least just as important as his other accomplishments.
I never really cared previously, and he’s obviously not without faults (Amber Heard), but damn this guy is doing some impressive things.
Please explain my political views without knowing a damn thing about me. I dare you.
Especially when I’ve been on this board a hell of a lot longer than you.
I don’t know your political ideology and don’t really care. I do find it curious that you seem to think he hasn’t done much and “we’ll see” if he does. Also strange that you think his putting his money where his mouth is in regards to free speech is just a distraction. Very odd takes…
To each their own though
Liberals can never hide themselves, lmao.
Musk has been hit or miss with some of his companies. Which is to be expected.
The Boring Project has been dragging on for a bit and has hit snags. But his Starlink and of course SpaceX have been awesome as of late and given us tons of different avenues.
Twitter is a private company, so while many including myself think their polices are quite oje sided, have done nothing illegal. Just like if I rented out a billboard I can technically decide what is on it. If I’m a big prick about it, my billboard goes out of business. Fee market baby.
I hope Elon changes it for the better, but I also hope it doesn’t become a complete fee for all either.
The party that preaches tolerance has none. LoL. Frauds. All of them.
Agreed. A social conservative he is not. He comes across as a libertarian who is fiscally conservative and socially liberal, though not hard-core extremist.
I can't tell which party he might identify with. That's exactly how it should be.
People need to get beyond party identification and affiliation and start focusing on ideas and solutions

Bill Maher has called out the left for years, so it's not like Musk is doing some revolutionary thing here. I think both sides have turned Musk and Joe Rogan into things they're not.
I didn’t say he was doing anything extraordinary. It is true tho that there are not many who are publicly visible in the business/media world who are willing to speak out against some of the ridiculousness.
I agree about Maher I have watched his show for years. Although I don’t agree with much that he says, I have always appreciated his willingness to call out his own party.
He didn’t really. He didn’t even create Tesla. He just bought into an already existing company after it was founded, eventually forced out the original founders, took an existing electric car (AC Propulsion tzero), put it into the chassis of a Lotus Elise, and mass produced it. And let’s not forget the massive half a billion dollar loan Tesla took from Uncle Sam to develop the Model S.
He’s a business man with a hypocritical streak (speaks out against government subsidies but has received almost $5 billion of them since 2015) but he’s not an inventor.
There are democrats. There are republicans. Then there are absurdly rich and wealthy people who reap all the gains of us regular folks.
Ahh yes, he just sold an already established technology the previous owner just wanted to keep for themselves apparently. Did you listen to yourself before typing?
He also openly admits he took gov’t subsidies and rightfully so. One of the VERY few times a gov’t subsidy actually paid off instead of being 100% wasted. His success should not equal subsidies for everyone…
You clearly hate Musk, which is fine, but try not to let your hate blind you so much.

So "pro free speech" = Republican?
Come to think of it... yeah, that actually is true.

Must is a visionary. Not only that, he is a visionary who can form ideas into realities by leading people to it. By 2050 he plans on having Mars colonized and having taken 1 million people to Mars, many who are just taking a space travel trip. At first you go, yeah right, then you remember Musk is doing it and you sit back and wonder if he'll make his timeframe. The man makes things happen. As for funding abortions, it's a business move. I'm sure it was merely a concession to avoid losing talent in the move to Texas, nothing more.
But abortions are needed to an extent. If you’re a Republican, why would you want baby mama pushing out eight government funded inner-city babies who are future Democrat voters?
I read that and hear Eddie Murphy say, "Brut. By Faberge."
Maybe the inability to abort will teach people responsibility? Although probably not…
Not a Republican thing, rather a moral issue. Don’t care if it’s an R D or anyone else, I’m not ok supporting the killing of an innocent baby.
Typing this as I’m sitting with my beautiful babies, so I guess I’m biased.
As a follow on... I have no idea how anyone with children can support abortion.
Anything that pisses off the extreme left or right is probably good for our country
Where is this "extreme right" you speak of?
I see the extreme left and feel the impact of their insanity here in reality. Government, corporations, academia, big tech, sports, advertising, ... Hell, it's everywhere! Virtually the entire democrat party has taken positions of the extreme left and they are destroying the country.
It is normal to always be able to find a handful of extreme examples for both left and right. But to speak of it as an equal current threat is complete ********!
The left has gone so far extreme that they are labeling moderate positions as "extreme right". We cannot accept that false characterization. It serves to normalize their insanity and move the Overton window to suit the radical positions of the left.
We're way past the point of simply making general philosophical statements. What we need is an all out push to slap this leftist **** down (hard) and regain some sanity in our country.
I dgaf about making democrats feel better by helping them rationalize the disgusting condition of their party and what they are doing. They own this ****. Fix it, ********. If you even gaf.
There is an extreme right but the problem for the left is that normal pubs will call out far right extremist and condemn bad behavior or law breaking. The left has gotten themselves to a point that being liberal makes you correct, good and moral. They can't do anything wrong as long as they go along with the current way of thinking.
The reason you don't see the far right is because everyday people shun and make fun of them so they slink off to a basement or wooded compound. It was like the 8 people that showed up with tiki torches or the 12 people that had swastikas in OH.... the conservatives ran them off from their protest and the media followed the few fruitcakes and pretended it was the majority.
Using your line of thinking maybe if you just killed the welfare dependent people making the babies we wouldn't have to kill babies? Let's kill all of the leeches who drain our social welfare programs? Why didn't we let all the old people/comorbidity ppl die of Covid? A lot of them are on Social Security and Medicare?
Not a very solid idea when you really break it down...
This x1000... no...better yet... x"infinity".
"Extreme right"? Is that pro life? Low taxes? Small govt? Personal responsibility (see: student loans)?
Yeah... sure... "extreme right" is the problem lol.
Anyone want to make this country better? DEPORT EVERY LEFTIST... problem solved.
