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.

I didn't know this was a thing so maybe you're lumping us all together.

@Spoiledbrat It's not liberals creaming themselves over the prospect of Musk buying Twitter. They think he will remove content moderation and turn it into a bigger version of Gab. The problem is, it's hard to attract advertisers as they don't want their ads next to posts by Nazis and jihadis.
