Elon Musk is the owner of multiple companies, the wealthiest individual in the world, and a US government employee. Having rejected the conservative label, Musk has described himself as a political moderate; his views have become more right-wing over time, and have been characterized as libertarian and far-right.[a] As the owner of Twitter, he has suppressed critics, and after his involvement in European politics, his views have received criticism from some world leaders. Musk has also expressed his opinion on topics from science and technology to religion and philosophy.
Within the context of American politics, Musk voted for Democratic candidates from 2008 until 2020, before switching to Republican candidates in 2022, and supporting Donald Trump in 2024 who he previously feuded with. He has identified as a "free speech absolutist" and has expressed support for universal basic income, gun rights, a tax on carbon emissions, and H-1B visas. Musk has been a critic of wealth tax, short-selling, government subsidies and Wikipedia, and expressed concern about the perceived dangers of artificial intelligence (AI) and climate change. He has criticized public transportation and transit systems, rejected labor unions, and is a pronatalist. During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, Musk defied lockdowns, describing them as "fascist", supported the Canada convoy protest against vaccine mandates, and made contentious epidemiological claims.
Musk has promoted conspiracy theories and made controversial statements that have led to accusations of sexism, antisemitism, transphobia, disseminating misinformation and disinformation, and support of white pride. While describing himself as a "pro-Semite", his comments regarding George Soros and Jewish communities have led to condemnation from the Anti-Defamation League and the White House. An immigrant himself, Musk blames immigration policy for illegal immigration, has been described as anti-immigration, and has engaged in promoting misleading narratives regarding voter fraud.
