Me ether, I'm mostly conservative, but not in lockstep ether. Re; wages, selling your labor is actually your micro business and just like any other capitalist you deserve all you can get, unfortunately there is really no fair free-market, the richest people have almost complete control. Being conservative I weather inflation better than most people and actually see real benefits from increased wages.
Inflation affects what you spend, but you can mitigate that somewhat. Most of my problems regarding finances are of my own making. I no longer own a residence in the USA, but we moved back here because of the Covid Plandemic... but I locked in our rent by requesting an extension of our lease at the same rate for 2 years well ahead of the initial 1 year lease. So inflation on rental is eating at the Landlord and not us.
Research Jeffersonian Republicanism. That's the closest label I myself fall into. I hate identifying as a Conservative because Conservatives will sell out the Constitution in favor of their religious values (gay marriage, abortion in that they fight against every reasonable solution, double down on muh Bible and overall just virtue signal instead of proving their way to be better) and many others I could go on about. Point being, we are a Constitutional Republic with the freedom to choose to believe whatever we want. The founding fathers gave us the Constitution NOT the Bible as our law. We are not a nation "for God" but rather a nation for people to find God on their own if they choose. I have almost no respect for Christians because the loudest ones don't respect others DESPITE Jesus commanding us to "Treat others the way you want to be treated, love your enemies and do not judge least ye be judged." Of course, then they like to respond with "muh context" which is always heavily derived and reaching and conveniently justifies their shitty behavior towards others... Look whatever mental tyranny anyone wants to impose on themselves is their business. But I took an oath to defend the Constitution and I chose to take the Jefferson oath. You can damn me to hell, you can argue my point, you can downvote me into oblivion. But I'm not backing down and I'm not going anywhere, and you Chris/Cons can do absolutely NOTHING about it.
Don't paint all Christians with such a broad brush. By the way Jefferson was my favorite forefather and I visited Monticello 3 times and enjoyed learning about those times...
I believe I heard Musk believes in climate change and supports universal income. Either of those is enough for me to write him off. Regardless, I do like what he's done to twitter thus far.
Yes, there are some absolute no-gos, but so many people today are one-issue and disregard all else.
Also, Musk may just be saying things, or he may change his mind as he gets new information. He is smart enough to do that. So I will just watch him for now.
This is also the same graph for when you find yourself looking at whatever young action dude comes up and you think, "DAMN! Now that's a good looking man!" It's not that you're gay for that dude. It's just that he's such an outlier that he wrecks all the graphs, like we see here. Same thing with ultra hot girls. I see a total fox and it's not, WOW! it's more like, "Hey before you walk by, are you cute on whatever planet you are from?" LOL
I think everyone should echo that opinion on just about every public face in this fight (with a few rare exceptions), Musk included.
That being said, I see a lot of people on here that can't seem to support or even enjoy what Musk is doing despite his actions being obviously good in a vacuum, simply because they don't know how to categorize the man yet.
Musk is funding lab grown babies, nuralink, and has more government contracts than any person I know of. He is a tourniquet for the deep state and will not take us as far as we know we need to go. Ride his wave as long as it lasts but if anyone thinks he’ll take us to shore I believe you will be extremely let down.
He is, but I'm pretty sure he still supports UI which is inevitable in the long run as tech. replaces more and more jobs. Not that we are near the point of needing that yet.
And I do not see a problem with that.

When the guy next to you is shooting in the right direction it doesn't matters whether you like him or not. ~{°¡°}~
LOL Exactly!
So long their as pissed off at all the communists and former members of The Weathermen!
That makes him even more valuable to help wake people up.

No one's beliefs will match yours 100%. Never.
Yes, that's very likely the case. However, there are certain stances which I find it hard, if not impossible, to look past.

Lol, I was always a Maryann fan not Ginger, average girls are nice to you
I lime tinnitus right next to anarchy on the far right. Not anarchy, just the far right boundary.

By any chance does anyone have a clearer version of this?
Sorry about that, I kept getting web links and just with the first photo I found. Google elon left of center post
No worries, thank you! In case anyone else would like it... https://images.wsj.net/im-535576/social
Beware of Musk I am not sold on him being a true white hat yet
I'd say he is more of a grey hat like Gandalf started out as, staying gray or turning white remains to be seen.

I'm not completely sold on him being human

He is slowly waking up.
He is, but I'm pretty sure he still supports UI which is inevitable in the long run as tech. replaces more and more jobs. Not that we are near the point of needing that yet.
