    If Elon loves being authoritarian, why does he try to distance himself from far right terrorists?

      They know they have to stay mask on, no matter what.

      They tried the whole “haha, we were nazis all along!” thing with the tiki torches and Unite the Right rally. They lost their jobs, families and the platform they’d built out of plausible deniability.

      You could catch them dressed as Hitler, with a hand written copy of Elders of Zion, in the middle of lynching a jew, and they’d still claim “the left just calls everyone who disagrees with them a Nazi”.

        Does seem like he and other had a brain brake around same time. Or could just be wealth effects.

      Same reason he skipped out of South Africa before the SADF conscripted him into the Apartheid war machine… him and his ilk believe the dirty and bloody work is beneath them.

      “Terrorists” are the bad guys, you want “freedom fighters” (fighting for your freedoms, of course).
