“He has embraced far right talking points…”

Yet advertisers continue to pay…all the self proclaimed woke artists and famous people continue to tweet….media companies and personal continue to use it as the the president

What does that all say about society as it is?

depressing…

The man is a liberal, but because he supports free speech and exposing government manipulation of civilian industries suddenly hes Far Right. Not a moderate, not a centrist, not a moderate conservative. Nope Far Right like everyone else who doesn't agree with the current talking points de jour.

As someone who leans right I am personally thinking Elon is more central leaning then not. One of the problems I find with the far left that twitter had become was it was stopping the voices so to speak. They were taking it under there own hat to be the gate keepers of speech. What Elon has doe. Was to open the flood gates back up.

He is not central at all. He's very much right wing

Elon regularly bans people for disagreeing with him. He is worse than Twitter used to be about banning, because Twitter used to ban for violations. Now they'll ban you if Musk just doesn't like you.

Musk has gone pretty far right, and definitely isn't in any way for free speech for anyone but him.

What does banning have to do with being Far Right?

It might be authoritarian, but neither side of the political spectrum has exclusivity with that notion.
