Can someone explain the reverence conservatives have for Elon Musk?

They claim to hate "big tech," but Musk invented PayPal.

They hate electric vehicles, but Musk made his fortune selling them.

The guy makes a few comments that suggest he doesn't believe in content moderation, so when he says he's buying Twitter, conservatives go gaga.

I sincerely hope Musk buys Twitter, runs it into the ground, and loses his fortune trying unsuccessfully to keep it afloat. That would be hilarious.

He's a huge Ayn Rand fan.

@Northwest That explains it. "The purpose of government is to let me keep as much of my money as possible"

@LeopoldBloom Musk, today, recommended Taiwan become “a special administrative zone” of China with an arrangement that could potentially be more “lenient” than Hong Kong. In other news, he also announced that the Tesla plant in China, is now the world's largest, and ships more cars than any other Tesla plant, and those are pre-ordered.

He previously recommended that Ukraine accept Russia's annexation of its land, and move on.

@Northwest I'm just glad this idiot wasn't born in the US, or we'd be looking at our next president.

@LeopoldBloom An Amen to that.
