I would agree if he wasn't publicly voting Republican at that point, which he was. By midterms 2022 he had publicly stated that the Democrats were the party of hate and division and that everyone should vote Republican. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_activities_of_Elon_Musk

It would be interesting to see him fake being progressive again, say "it was all a joke" and deliver a non-apology in hopes that his EV sales pick up again.
