Elon Musk: I Leaned Toward Democrats for a While — Then They Went Crazy

Elon Musk: I leaned toward Democrats for a while, but then they went crazy.

“I was politically neutral for quite a while, leaning a little Democrat. But they went crazy. I mean, that whole cancel culture and trying to stop freedom of speech and infringe upon, just in general, infringe upon people's personal freedoms. They just want state control, state control of what you say. They want to take away your guns. And the reason they want to take away your guns, it's like there's nothing you can do to oppose them. We just need to restore the fundamental elements of what made America great, which is freedom and opportunity.”
