It's the same sentiment in large parts of Europe, and a major reason for dropping Tesla sales. He actively supports right-wing, eurosceptic politics and parties in several European countries.
Nope I live in Europe and most people are with Elon in this one, it's the left wing media that spout this FUD, yes the credulous woke brigade will swallow it. Most people are tired of their cities becoming ruined by out of control immigration. If democrats and left wing political parties don't recognise this (as as happened in USA with Trump wining) it will continue to move to the right. In the UK the next election will likely be won by a right wing party (hopefully)
