Left Rejections

The Left hates those who go against their narrative:

One would think that Dyson's observations would cause at lease some of the most ardent climate change alarmists to say, "Dyson is brilliant. What does he see that I don't? If one of the world's leading physicists, universally recognized as a genius, thinks climate change alarmism is nonsense and that nonscientist Al Gore is full of it, perhaps I need to rethink this?" Instead, according to Dyson's son, his father's views have "cooled friendships." This brings us to Elon Musk, the world's richest man and a brilliant technologist, whose achievements include co-founding the electronic payment firm PayPal; starting the rocket and spacecraft company SpaceX; becoming one of the first major investors in Tesla; starting an artificial intelligence company; and founding Starlink, a satellite internet service. He bought the company formally known as Twitter, reined in its discrimination against conservative users and fired nearly 80% of its workforce without any harm to continuing operations. Musk, a longtime member of the political left, renounced the Democratic Party and became not just an admirer of Donald Trump but campaigned on behalf of his second term. Far worse, as far as his former left-wing admirers are concerned, Musk joined the Trump administration as the leader of the Department of Government Efficiency, with a mission to wring out bloat, inefficiency and corrupt spending by the federal government. Musk recently said: "The government waste and fraud is so high that it's causing a $2 trillion annual deficit. ... The cost of our debt has gotten so high that just the interest payments on the debt exceed the entire military budget. ... If a country overspends and doesn't spend wisely, just like a person, the country will go bankrupt. ... (A)nd if we don't do something, the ship of America is going to sink. We are all on that ship." One would think many on the left, especially those who once admired Musk, would at the very least say, "Musk is brilliant. What does the man behind SpaceX and Tesla see about the Democratic Party, the Republican Party and President Donald Trump that I don't? Maybe I need to rethink this?" Instead, Tesla owners have seen their cars defaced and set on fire. Musk is regularly denounced by Democratic officeholders as "dumb," "evil" and "a Nazi."

Never leave the groupthink plantation...
