1) Musk hasn't quite bought twitter yet. It's going to take a half year or more to go through and it could still fall apart.
2) Musk isn't as pro-conservative and anti-liberal as everyone seems to think and the excitement/freakouts by those respective sides I don't think are warranted.
3) Like most Musk projects, his initial idealist views are going to be harshly tempered by reality and the policies will swiftly moderate.
4) Musk isn't dumb, exactly, and has some good ideas, but he does exhibit the Dunning-Kruger effect with a LOT of things and he really doesn't know as much as he thinks he does about most of the things he butts his way into with his money. See point 3.
I've been leaning towards the machine here, but the latest poll and some of the endorsements (political and union) makes me think this year could be the exception. Lipinski/Madigan won't go down easily though.
