#TrumpTariffs Elon Musk's politics are complex and often controversial. He champions free speech, limited government, and technological innovation, aligning with libertarian and right-leaning ideals. Musk has criticized COVID-19 lockdowns, government regulations, and what he sees as excessive political correctness. He supported candidates from both major U.S. parties but has leaned more conservative in recent years, especially on issues like free enterprise and media bias. Musk’s acquisition of Twitter (now X) was partly driven by his desire to promote open discourse. His political stance reflects a mix of pro-business libertarianism and a growing skepticism toward mainstream liberal institutions
