It confuses me that Elon is far-right in public, but names his creations from left-libertarian science fiction books. Is it just an act?
maybe he is not far-right and the framing of how you get your info about Elon is skewing your perception? His politics have been fairly stable the last 20 years. The Overton window has not been.
