How California Turned Elon Musk Into the Most Dangerous Conservative Since, Well, Ever

The Wall Street Journal ran an unintentionally hilarious story yesterday headlined, “Elon Musk Gave Tens of Millions to Republican Causes Far Earlier Than Previously Known.

It’s not news that the world’s richest (and most productive) man donates in large amounts. How is that news? Where are all the exposés about Bill Gates’s donations? Or George Soros? One hint may be that the WSJ called Elon “one of the biggest donors to conservative causes.” That, combined with Elon’s Twitter reach, led the Journal to deem the space entrepreneur “one of the most influential figures in U.S. politics.”

Indeed.

A more interesting fact from the article, which will encourage some of you, is that Musk was apparently one of the largest donors to Governor DeSantis’ short-lived presidential campaign. I think that particular fact evidences both Musk’s intuition and intelligence, especially considering that SpaceX relies heavily on certain resources located in Cape Canaveral, Florida.

The Journal also breathlessly reported that Musk gave $50 million in 2022 to a 501c named “Citizens for Sanity.” Sanity? Say no more! Where do I sign up? (It’s an anti-castration group.) There was lots more about various Musk donations, but at the end of the day, the Journal’s exposé said nothing we don’t already know. Musk is active in politics. Ho hum. But that’s where things got really funny.

Behold! One part of Musk’s personal political progress baffled the Wall Street Journal’s crack investigative team:

Hahahaha! Talk about burying the lede. True, Musk “seemed” to undergo a rapid political transformation. But why? Why did Elon undergo a rapid political transformation? Why does the Journal use the mysterious word “seemed?” Why was it hinting that it doesn’t believe in the transformation?

What happened?

What happened was Elon was a lifelong Democrat until California’s power-drunk, out-of-control, barely-literate state politicians chased him out of California. Full stop. Musk was painfully red-pilled by the pandemic.

That’s the real story. The headline should have been, “How Democrats Created The Most Influential Conservative Figure in U.S. Politics.” My old journalism professors are surely spinning in their graves. Well, they’re spinning unless they’re still alive, in which case they are prudently protecting their careers by rationalizing the controlled demolition of journalistic ethics, which is a whole different and less complimentary sort of spinning.
