“I strongly supported Obama for President, but today’s Democratic Party has been hijacked by extremists,” Musk said via Twitter.
In a meme he posted on Thursday, the SpaceX CEO outlined how he’s moved toward the Right since 2008.
The meme’s 2012 timeline shows a “fellow liberal” on the Left running toward the extreme far-Left, in effect leaving another stick-figure drawing labeled “me” moved toward the center. By the 2021 timeline, a “woke ‘progressive'” is now all the way on the far-Left, calling the stick-figure labeled “me,” or Musk, in this case, a “bigot.” Musk has stayed in the same spot in the meme but is now considered to be on the Right.
