Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk voiced his confusion over political partisanship in a post shared via his X platform, saying that while he believed himself to be more of a centrist, his critics seemed certain that he was &#8220;right-wing.&#8221;
Musk was inspired by another post from Sophie (@netcapgirl) that read, &#8220;Going back in time to try to explain how crazy it is that we have a guy who makes electric cars and rocket ships and brain computer interfaces yet a bunch of people hate him because they don&#8217;t like his politics or whatever &amp; having them show me a cave drawing of the astronaut meme.&#8221;

Musk replied with a list of things that he believed were important to support in society, explaining that what he saw was a &#8220;battle to the death&#8221; between the rational and &#8220;the anti-civilizational woke mind virus.&#8221;
&#8220;My positions are centrist,&#8221; Musk explained, adding, &#8220;Secure borders; safe &amp; clean cities; don&#8217;t bankrupt America with spending; racism against any race is wrong; no sterilization below age of consent. Is this right-wing?&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
And, although it shouldn’t need to said, I believe in the Constitution and freedom of speech

Musk replied to his own post with an addendum a short time later, saying &#8220;And, although it shouldn&#8217;t need to be said, I believe in the Constitution and freedom of speech.&#8221;
An X account tied to the Rasmussen Reports polling site responded to Musk&#8217;s assessment with recent data showing that a majority of Americans agreed with him.
&#8220;Luckily, most of America still does, too. 74% say protecting freedom of speech is more important. 16% say protecting people from offensive speech is more important,&#8221; the post read.

Musk debated the issue with ousted CNN anchor Don Lemon, emphasizing his belief in free speech and accusing Lemon of wanting censorship so badly he could &#8220;taste it.&#8221;

&#8220;We don&#8217;t agree on this,&#8221; Lemon said, and Musk agreed.
&#8220;You want censorship and I don&#8217;t,&#8221; he replied.
Lemon attempted to push back, claiming that what he wanted was not censorship but &#8220;responsibility&#8221; — but Musk disagreed.
&#8220;You desperately want censorship. You want censorship so badly you can taste it,&#8221; Musk continued.
