Attempting to buy Twitter in order to (let's face it, there is no other reason) un-muzzle Trump. That alone would be enough to get 10,000 oppo researchers on his case.

And let me be clear. I do think Musk has a few screws loose and that was obvious back when he was trying to buy ICBMs from Russia. He is also absolutely responsible for the creation of the new space race and for every major car company having a great EV. In our current political climate it's become impossible to take the good with the bad. There is only space in public discourse for him to be a hero or a villain. We demand absolute ideological purity from our public figures these days and many folks on the left feel betrayed that he could be anything other a progressive champion.

Money, more than anything is an amplifier, and it has amplified a neuro-atypical man with an unbalanced ego and actual political opinions you might not agree with. He is a real person with massive accomplishments who has enough money to firmly grab the wheel on the ship of our country, not some cardboard cutout of good or evil.
