I heard him say that he was against private ownership of guns. I think that’s bad, but there are other things about him that aren’t so bad.
My opinion is based on that.
You are welcome to think otherwise.
You asked me where I heard that, and I told you. Again, either you believe me or you don’t, and either is fine, I suppose. I made no accusations, I just said what I heard. It would be great if what I heard was available to click and verify, but apparently it’s not. That’s a bummer.

It was in the radio. Not even sure if such a link exists, but his words on that subject stuck in my mind. I think if he spoke such a position on such a subject a simple google search would turn it up. I think the left would have latched onto it. I guess I'll take your word on it despite lack of any evidence that he has a public position on 2A. Believe whatever you want. I’m not trying to convince you of anything. You made an assertion that appears to have no evidence. Musk is pretty libertarian in most of his views. You claim he made a statement and can't corroborate it, and can't be corroborated by multiple people doing searches on the topic. Funny how his views on climate change, evolution, taxation, unions, drug use, AI, oil drilling, all of these can be found quickly with a google search, but his stance on guns can't be other than your interpretation of your recollection of a radio interview he gave some time in the past. Why would I lie? I already told you I was glad he was a free speech advocate. I heard that statement on guns and it turned me off. It’s not like I’m a hater or anything. This place is so weird. People are so 100%/0%, and get uptight at the notion that most of the time people are a mixed bag. He’s not my hero, he’s not lower than worm shit either. He’s just a dude. I didn't accuse you of lying. I said you made an accusation, a fairly serious one in the context of this being a gun forum, and that you provided no evidence for it. If you were able to substantiate your claim, we would be able to look into the context of his statement and possibly revise our opinions. I've read a couple books about Musk's life and companies, and watched most of the interviews he's given in the last 5 years or so. I don't agree with everything he says, but I've never seen him even comment on gun ownership one way or the other. I heard him say that he was against private ownership of guns. I think that’s bad, but there are other things about him that aren’t so bad. My opinion is based on that. You are welcome to think otherwise. You asked me where I heard that, and I told you. Again, either you believe me or you don’t, and either is fine, I suppose. I made no accusations, I just said what I heard. It would be great if what I heard was available to click and verify, but apparently it’s not. That’s a bummer. And again, unless I see evidence I don't believe you. He's one of the highest profile men on the planet, and you're talking about one of the hottest political issues in this country. Why would there be no corroboration of such an extreme position? That's even more extreme than Biden's official position on gun ownership. Even Bernie's. That's way out there with AOC.
