So, Musk is totally fine to hang out, publicly, with the likes of Andrew Tate (!) and Alex Jones. Tells you everything you need to know. But it sure is hell of a way to burn 44 billion.

X is already gone from my Home Screen to a folder. Second page! I struggle to see it having any relevance in the future at this rate.

It is kind if said so, that despite all the success Musk had he still is so insecure to crave attention at every cost.
I think he really does just have far-right sympathies.
There are parties in Europe organizing their own militias, the Italian right wing has at best sued critics, which is bad but not "storm capitol hill" bad.

* the far right shares ideology and slogans with fascism
* FdI leadership comes from the background of post-fascist parties
but neither makes them neo-fascist, based on the fact that _all the right parties in the world_ shares the same slogans, and FdI has (in words) reneged what the fascism has been. La Russa, who is one of the most dreadful characters in the party, took the time to cite the liberation of Italy from fascism as a shared national value when he was elected as chair of the senate
In contrast, Italy does have actual neo-fascist parties such as Casapound and Forza Nuova, with people marching dressed in black, and with programmatic goals which include abolishing the current prohibition to re-establish the fascist party in Italy.
I dislike what Meloni stands for, and we should call out everything bad her government does, without need to call her "neo-fascist".
Regardless, they are pretty indisputably on the very far right of the overton window
* One mentions it, once, saying it's similar to french FN (which wikipedia does not consider as "neo-fascist").
* one mentions one of the party leaders, twice, and once says he belongs to a "neo-fascist party"
* one mentions it in a footnote.
None of these represent a political analysis, but they do show how you can manipulate wikipedia with
I agree 100% that FdI is far right, despicable, and as far from my personal ideas as a party can be.
But yes, I do consider hanging out with Epstein and Bush in my evaluation of people as well.
Jones, hell, from a certain point I get it, this guy brings traffic. Tate is just bottom of the barrel scum so, and it ia pretty pathetic for the formerly richest man of the world to promote the manosphere, that is more a thing for third rate, butt hurt youtubers who cannot cope with women having a mind of their own.
