Elon Musk's political views align more with Republicans now, but he's donated to lawmakers from both parties going back to the early 2000s.
The article from MSN provides a detailed timeline of Elon Musk's political views and financial contributions, highlighting his evolution from a relatively apolitical figure to a more vocal and engaged political commentator. Initially, Musk was known for his focus on technology and space exploration with little public political involvement. Over time, his political donations and statements began to reflect a shift towards more conservative and libertarian viewpoints. Key points include his early donations to both Democrats and Republicans, his increasing criticism of what he perceives as excessive government regulation, and his vocal support for free speech and against what he calls "woke" culture. Musk's political donations have notably increased, with significant contributions to Republican candidates and causes, especially around the 2022 midterms. His acquisition of Twitter (now known as X Corp) in 2022 further amplified his political influence, where he has made changes to promote free speech, often aligning with right-wing narratives. This timeline illustrates Musk's journey from a tech entrepreneur to a significant political influencer, reflecting his growing concern with issues like free speech, government overreach, and economic policies.
