"I will say that the fact that right now people from the right wing of politics are making Musk an icon does not mean that Musk IS a right-wing person. It means he is being perceived as ally of the right by the right and accused of it by the left. Musk himself hasn't changed. This is his point: He hasn't moved"

That is almost exactly what I stated in my article and which I have struggled to get across to you. I am glad we are mostly on the same page.

I have however added a little twist to this in that I think Elon Musk himself has become slightly more sympathetic to the right and has seen benefits in appearing to be more of a right-winger than he actually is.

But againt that doesn't mean he had fundamentally changed as a person inside. But I have never claimed anything else.

I think you have read a lot of different ideas into my writing than I have. I would advice you to re-read the article in this light and see if you may have misinterpreted it the first time around.
