Good point.
I was just listening to BBC radio in the car (all the stations are the same and either play dross or condemn wrongthink) Basically it was a pseudo-analysis of Musk's influence in light of his recent support for the popular view on the partiality of the UK PM.
The way I see it, by 2019, the scales of left right balance was so far left, there was no further left to go to. He is actively bringing the discourse on his platform back to balance.
Obviously the radio wanted to caution against his apparent right leaning tendencies. I call bullshit.
