What is the man's political position? I haven't followed him much until lately...my first impression, which is obviously cloudy, would be that he is a lefty...not so sure now.
My second thought being that if he accomplishes what he appears to have set out to do, does it really matter?

Don't really care as long as he keeps doing what is the right thing to do.
Why does everything have to be left or right?IF it is the right thing to do.

He strikes me as a small “l” libertarian. That is one in practice or moral and philosophical alignment without being politically aligned to the party.

He has donated to both parties—has no idea how much and said so under oath

He doesn’t fit either mold as don’t many of us. The democrats and republicans are virtually the same.

Look at the supreme court justices and tell me you really believe that.

An opportunist... goes where it benefits him, AKA a Rogue... that's why the left hates him, only people who fall in lockstep with the current, yet constantly changing narrative are supported by the hivemind. I'm not a fanboi, but I don't hate him either.

He’s an inventor and businessman. I don’t think he’s a politician at all. I think BALLISTIK is pretty close…an opportunist.

Look at the supreme court justices and tell me you really believe that. The left/right spectrum doesn't exist, it's just used to pit the masses against each other. The scale is really authoritarian vs. anarchy. Republicans and Democrats are somewhere in the middle between authoritarian and anarchy with the Democrats tending more towards the authoritarian end. However, the Republicans are fully capable of using force and financial coercion to make you comply with government mandates themselves. The two parties differ in what they prioritize to screw with you over, but in the end they're more alike than not. I agree with Teal, Must strikes me as somewhat libertarian. However, he's shown that he's more than willing to use government to further his business so I'm not even sure that applies to him.

I think he leans to the Libertarian side of things, especially when it comes to free speech which I believe is whats behind his interest in buying Twitter.

Most of the people here wouldn't be able to understand his political views partly because you all think in simple terms of left to right. Political views are really better described in terms of quadrants.
The other reason is you'd need to have read some utopian philosophy, along the lines of Consider Phlebas by Iain Banks, and there is a roughly 0% chance very many of you would read a whole book. The guy is a utopian socialist at worst. National Socialist at best, but he couldn't turn over that card maybe ever.
