Elon Musk's current views lean heavily right-wing, with a libertarian streak—think anti-woke, pro-free speech, and skeptical of big government. Twenty years ago, the Democratic Party was more centrist, with "New Democrats" like Bill Clinton pushing Third Way policies: economically liberal but pragmatic, pro-Social Security, and less focused on cultural battles. Musk’s disdain for modern progressive causes like DEI and his recent Republican support wouldn’t fully align with that era’s Democrats, but his tech-optimist, problem-solving mindset might’ve found some common ground with their innovation-friendly side. Still, his contrarian nature would’ve clashed with their establishment vibe.
