@nytimes: Last week, the tech billionaire Elon Musk and former President Donald Trump held a two-hour live-streamed chat on X. The conversation reflected Musk's deep insertion into the presidential campaign and his embrace of Trump. Tap the link in bio to listen to the hosts of the "Hard Fork" podcast debate what may have caused Musk's political shift to the right.
I think divorce, losing relationships with your kids pushes a lot of men in this direction. They lose the community they had and replace it with this right wing online community.

He knew he needed the left to get off the ground. The right would have never supported an EV company.

I believe Musk was always right wing. He just covered it well to his convenience.

The weirdest part is that he’s defining his political views at his 50s instead of his 20s.
