He's for DeSantis and against the 'woke mind virus.'

"The woke mind virus has thoroughly penetrated entertainment and is pushing civilization towards suicide," MuskMusk has cited criticism from progressive politicians like Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Rep.

"High-profile Republicans gained tens of thousands of followers in the weeks after Musk acquired Twitter, while their Democratic counterparts lost followers, according to aIt's unclear what precisely is driving the fluctuations, but "the pattern suggests that tens of thousands of liberals may be leaving the site while conservatives are joining or becoming more active, shifting the demographics of the site under Musk’s ownership," the Post writes.

Musk's politics reveal him.

But also argued earlier in October Twitter should be apolitical and then almost immediately started making political themed posts.

What next, Adolf Hitler was far left? ElonMuskIsaGiantTurd

Where is your hunter biden story?

Centrist. lol. About the most extreme right winger in the GOP.

Yes he is to the left of Adolf Hitler but to the right of Herman Goering. Centrist!

lol

Being a 'centrist' only means a bully is screwing his wife 1x week, says he wants her 5x week & compromises on 3x week.

GQP considers fascist sensible and centrist.

And yet he last night gave fuel to Trump's bonfire.

Any of the Masons or Illuminati planning to deal with him?

DeSantis a 'centrist'? 😂😂😂

...and people will disagree. That's fine.

Calling Desantis “centrist” is a joke

Better title: Elon Musk learns the truth about democrats

Lol

Musk gets it

Lmao Biden is more of a centrist than DeSantis

Obnoxious counterproductive neurotic lefty policies & vile manipulative media has pushed many people “rightward”

The 'de facto public square' was controlled by leftist Democrat activists for a decade. The de facto public square is still controlled by pro Democrat leftists. I guess when you're privileged, equality feels like oppression. Isn't that what you leftists say?

and you Axiox are left wing DEMORATS, and fake news reporters !!!!!

All the media at the same time attacking Musk... they are panicking lol.

You mean because he's trying to be open and honest? That's just being a decent human being. Not a Democrat, for sure.

If by Republican you mean free speech advocate then yeah, I guess he has.

Or maybe he's just stirring controversy to try to increase traffic on his fledgling site.

But are republicans the ones who buy electric cars?

LOL at the “public square.”

He always was.

Watching Elon’s twitter takeover closely, the only thing I’ve witnessed is him continually doing the right thing, and not for political gain.

This must be stopped, Congress and the White House need to take immediate action

I'd say elonmusk IS ACTING Like An Extremist? Creating Controversy IS HIS MANNA! It's Alarming & Sad?!

Great!

Ain't it grand.

The Democratization of Axios.

Elon Musk cares about one single thing: Elon Musk. He wants no taxes, no regulations, no laws. And the greatest enablers of that are Republicans. There is absolutely no surprise he has become such a deplorable, selfish creep.

He’s a MAGA hero Enough for us to stay away from that nonsense We don’t like insurrectionists or their enablers

Twitter is now a Political Action Committee.

That’s what happens when you grow up.

Libertarian, that’s him in a Nutshell and nothing wrong with that. Ok BACK OFF Axios. Way off base here.

'De facto public square' That's not what liberals were calling Twitter back when they controlled what opinions and news was allowed to be voiced.

So what.

Exposure to facts will do that.

Delete your account, move the way of mastodonts already

Bravo!!!!!

You mean he is now publicly announcing that his political views are toward the centre.

Not true but so what if he was?

He’s further right. Republicans have evolved into authoritarian party. He’s helping them facilitate their agenda. He fired knowledgeable Twitter personal to allow easier adaptation of his vision for this platform. Misinformation, lack of documentation of verification

That's very good!!!

In Axios’ dictionary, Republican must mean bad people.

👍

So now that’s the explanation for being mentally unstable? He’s now Republican? Give me a break … wait, I guess it makes sense. Mentally unfit = Republican, ok ok, I’ll take that back. 🤷🏻

'Classic liberals like then President Bill Clinton are actually Republicans.'

He's just taken off his mask and revealed his roots embroiled in disdain and hatred just like the rest of the GOPFascists which is today's definition of Republicans.

.He has become more extreme, online with the right wing fringe of Republican Party with specific love for conspiracy theories.

Good for him.

I'll live.

And the media just becomes farther and farther left

Say what you mean, he's become more racist, more anti-worker more anti-jew more anti-twitter.

You could try to take a stab at ‘why’. Hint: see Trump and Kanye. Radicalization via Russian propaganda

Or, democrats have just become more & more communist.

Twitter News in Pictures/Memes:

And that my friends is what democracy looks like…having the ability to change one’s political views, is the most important basic right a great nation like America offers

Egads! A Republican?! Why you nearly made my monocle splash into my tea.

A kind of 21st century Ross Perot

That's because he also a genius

OH THE HUMANITY!!!

Masculine Republics - Feminine Democracies - Tyranny He's a dude trying to prevent tyranny.

inafried The new reality is that Musk has aligned his interests with those of the Kremlin over America. Americans need to act from this understanding. Elon Musk should be like Snowden & defect. He’s not welcome here.

Good. The party of hate and control has plenty of mouthpieces, like .

Axios opinions pretending to be news

So, free speech is a Republican ideal?

Amazing that an aging rich white man would become more conservative.

Smart guy

So?

Why isn’t everyone Republican? The Democrat party is a dumpster fire. At least libertarians I respect. If you voted for Biden and this cluster we have now then no respect. They’re always projecting.

It's good to know that Neuralink is working towards a cure.

LOL he's not a Republican. You people are clowns.

Or maybe you keep moving so far left you can't tell which side of the line he stands on. Keep moving your goal post away from reality. Everyone is going to look conservative to you.

He's a radical MAGA sympathizer

Is that a problem?

The truth isn’t political.

Democrats dove headfirst into the commie/ globalist deep end

Liberal media: the media isn't biased toward liberalism Also liberal media: ElonIsDestroyingTwitter

k

LOL

Perhaps ask why.

The horror!

Nice!

Who gives af? Ppl can have their opinions

Cry more

…and?

Your perspective is always wrong. Look within and you will find the problem. The rest of us will go on just fine, thank you.

Labled as a Republican because he wants free speech? The real question should be, why are liberals so afraid of uncensored speech?

American Pravda

He says he's a moderate who has views across the political spectrum on a host of different issues. Why the need to forcefully categorize him as anything other than an independent?

🤣🤣🤣

Most smart people do

Because...👇

No not that!! 😱

God Bless Him! But he is not. He is 100% a Libertarian.

Axios’ phrase Smart Brevity should be changed to dumb douchebaggery. Makes way more sense.

So the fuck what?

He isn’t the one that changed

Oh no someone doesn’t agree with us they are bad.

Or…. You all have moved sooooooo far left and crazy, everyone else seems “republican,” everyone moderate dems

So?

Oh no the horror..

So?

you wrote that as if there was a *dun dun dun* at the end

Leftists will learn nothing

He's a symbol of the entire country.

😂😂😂 No it hasn’t.

Shocking

Breaking news: Republican = hypocritical douche bag, yeah free speech elonmusk

In other words, just thinking rationally.

actually, this is how he sees it…

Oh no!! Not a Republican!!

. Maybe you should follow his lead elonmusk

Is that a problem? I don’t recall news outlets being worried when he seemed to be a Democrat.

A. he used to be the richest man, no longer is. B. Twitter isn’t a public square any more than Axios is a serious news organization.

If you consider protecting-fascism and megalomania Republican traits. Thus would be the MAGARepublicans

Weird coincidence…

Free-speech used to be considered a liberal value. My, how the Democrats have fallen into fascism.

Who would have thought that a businessman wouldn’t be more on the side of Democrats who want to tax his unrealized wealth and add more onerous regulations to his businesses.

I think you mispelled 'fascist'

Also nuts, erratic, claiming to believe in freedom of speech while actually acting authoritarian… oh right you did say more Republican.

Y'alls article photo of elonmusk is the same propaganda shit Fox News does. ..I get 'red state' but you're trying to make him look creepy and demonic. Fire your graphic designer

Lol we can't have that

As the left becomes more unhinged the more people are going to jump off the crazy train.

Musk tweeted this meme. Explains his stance.

It's all about which party allows you to accumulate the most amount of money regardless of how it affects others.

I wonder if this is simply a ploy to sell Teslas to conservatives. Seriously. I wonder if this newfound conservative posturing is a calculated business decisions to make his companies more appealing to conservatives.

Free speech! The GOP deny climate change, they don't support LGBTQ rights, they oppose the affordable care act, oppose assistance to Ukraine, women's rights and use gerrymandering to ensure they never lose their elected position - that is freedom?

A political party that calls everyone a bigot -then comes into White House spending recklessly causing inflation, thinks shipping oil from dictators is greener than a pipeline from Canada, creates a border crisis. Well like the 70s a lot of people will jump that shark.

His eldest child is apparently non-binary and estranged from Musk, so Musk has decided that the whole world is to blame.

Musk's free speech talk can't be taken seriously after he and his right wing allies in multiple levels of government threatened Apple over its free speech. What's his real agenda? I suspect it's becoming the heir to MAGA nation after Donald loses again.

Who buys his Tesla cars? Which party is pushing electric vehicles and the associated charging infrastructure? Musk is biting the hand that feeds him in exchange for some trolling on social media.

Republicanization? Is that a nice polite way of saying his handlers are pushing him toward full-on fascism?

That the fed govt is keeping an eye on Musk screams authoritarian anti-freedom oppression.

Good synopsis of Musk's devolution into the right-wing cesspool.

I was confused with the term “republicanization” as mr musk seems to want to be in some monarchy him as head where he influences his subjects to go against his “adversaries”.

Mid life crisis

You spelled radicalization wrong. Oh wait. No, you didn’t.

Getting red-pilled is the GOP equivalent to wokeness.

Nothing new here. All of his supporters are the melanin challenged untrustworthy Bernie Bro cryto bro types who are more right-minded / libertarian than they are progressive.

Once you see the facts and reality that the mainstream media tries to censor you can’t help but trust conservative/libertarian voices more…both political parties are still corrupt

Rich white guy from an apartheid state. You don't say....

Wait, the new progressive narrative is “If you don’t subscribe to the alt-left woke ideology, you’re a republican” ?

….the MSM are losing their mind over this.
