Elon Musk is Really Bad for the Right

An unlikely nemesis

To date, the problems I’ve highlighted with Elon Musk have been cultural – namely that it’s bad to have a person with no taste, no sense of humour, and no intellectual curiosity for non-technical matters in charge of a major cultural institution. But as the second Trump term has progressed it has become clear that he represents not just a cultural problem but a political one too - or perhaps it’s more accurate to say the cultural problem has a political dimension.
