Maybe reality is more nuanced than the binary choice you’re asking it to be reduced to.

e.g. Musk’s companies have done great things in the areas of EVs, batteries, and (most of all) space launches.

When people today talk about Elon Musk's political views they mean his sudden right-wing radicalization in 2022 that happened exactly when he was tipped off about sexual harassment allegations coming his way.

Nah, it was caused by his kid turning trans.

Futuristic technology has certainly been right wing for as long as that has been a concept. Looking to history, some of the most incredible technological breakthroughs any of us can think of, came from what is considered the most extremely right wing society to have existed.

Elon Musk is, first and foremost, a government leech and will follow the free money.
