Elon Musk’s openly partisan participation on the site he bought in October 2022 reflects a broader evolution in his public persona from business-minded tech prodigy to right-wing firebrand.

Hahahahahaha Elon Musk, tech prodigy. He was, is and always shall be a sham huckster using public funds to enrich himself. He knows less about tech than a freshman at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. And "right wing firebrand" is piss poor code for fascist d-bag
He’s also activily pushing the posts and influencers and algorithms to have the entire platform reflect those views. So those views dominate the share of voice.

Right wing firebrand is a particularly delectable euphemism, I guess it's better than bigoted race war promoter (if you're Elon Musk and not the truth)
"Firebrand" might be OK, pretty sure you could have been better. Bomb thrower, maybe. We're talking about the guy at the New York Times forum who told advertisers to go "f*** themselves."
But "right wing"? That's waaay too soft. You have to get rid of Will Lewis, he's awful for you.
Your comment is itself a simplification, thereby nullifying its demand.
In any case, money that X or Tesla makes from your engagement with their products is funneled to Trump's campaign. If you support Musk, you're complicit.
I don't support Musk.
Having successful high culture account with adequate followers for many years prior to Elon takeover.
Anti- tRump European since 2016.
Active and outspoken.
Interesting way to frame a neo-Nazi coming out of the closet. I wonder if he appreciates how much his stunts reveal the fraud of "tech prodigy". Another thug who has always had money.
No, WaPo. Musk recently literally and deliberately incited racist violence in the UK. He’s also deliberately working to undermine democracy in the US. You, WaPo, have already tanked half your reputation and credibility with your craven behavior of late. Don’t romanticize Musk to destroy what’s left.
It's been like that for nearly two years, but most of America is totally ok with hanging out with Nazis because they're too fucking lazy to start over with getting social media followers.
I'm surprised there has not been a wider #BoycottTesla endeavor to stop Elon because that's the real place to hit him in the wallet and there are plenty of decent EV options at this point.
I have come to expect this kind of debasement from the NYT. Super disappointing and shameful to see WaPo so eager to follow their lead. No decency. No shame.

Td;dr, but assume you also used the adjective "mercurial"?

2) Buying a Tesla = Supporting Trump
Not recommended...

No... "but my followers are there" is not an excuse. You're just telling us Nazis don't bother you so much.
FFS... he's constantly talking about white people's birth rates. Just fucking stop covering for these guys.
it's offensive
