US: Elon Musk Asks “Is This Right-Wing?”
X owner Elon Musk hit back at leftists complaining that he is right wing by outlining his “centrist” political views, highlighting how far the Overton window has shifted.
Responding to a post noting how crazy it is that the man developing rocket ships to take the human race to another planet is being attacked, Musk declared that he is in “a battle to the death with the anti-civilizational woke mind virus.”
He then laid out a few key political stances he believes in, asking how they can possibly be perceived as “right wing.”
This is a battle to the death with the anti-civilizational woke mind virus.

My positions are centrist:
– Secure borders
– Safe & clean cities
– Don’t bankrupt America with spending
– Racism against any race is wrong
– No sterilization below age of consent
Is this right-wing? https://t.co/QgRkoem2u4
In modernity world these things are now all right wing.
Anything that isn't a non-stop drum circle calling for the elimination of all Jews is "far-right propaganda" to these people. https://t.co/TBW3JIXFbq

It’s not Elon Musk or any of the rest of us who have changed. Just a few years ago, Obama was calling for secure borders and a halt to unrestricted illegal immigration.
15 years ago, no. Even Obama wanted to secure the border and deported plenty of illegals. There was a time when both parties talked about balanced budgets, now just one does. Racism is the domain of the left. You said it best yourself with this meme: pic.twitter.com/Jx9EOV1kpA

These are pretty reasonable beliefs.

You and I both would have been considered liberals 20 years ago.
It’s not our fault the Dems have gone so far Left, they are unrecognizable.
