They are gaslighting a prominent man because he is from a different political tribe to theirs and they believe that by denigrating him they are defending their own tribe from “the other”
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).
What are you saying? Why make stuff up? Musk isn’t left wing any where. He’s obviously a right winger. He’s always been a right winger outside America. Now he’s finally a right winger here too.
... of course one can question how safe they are given Musk's condition.
