No career politician would want to work with him. Musk says the things like they are, without regards of "party position" or what his fans' ideologies see as "okay to say".

Pretty funny to watch it on Twitter, when he calls for a re-open and the leftist environmental crowd gets all outraged, because they consider that a "right wing" position.

And then he talks about UBI and welfare state, and all the liberals and right wingers get upset.

Reason and politics just aren't a good match.
