@Winter I get the impression it might be different between those two. For Musk maybe he just thinks he's above it all and none of it really affects him. Fascism is as much a toy to him as anything else, and it gets him attention and a following, validation a sense of superiority. It's the antithesis of any kind of social and community progression, which is a threat to his position, especially in terms of workers rights. It aggravates progressives. It comes with a following with not a lot of critical thinking, so they don't question his word so much and he can set himself up as their role model or leader. He doesn't have to fight for any power in any serious way, he's used to having it in the form of money. He doesn't consider that a fascist regime might possibly choose to take it all from him if they wanted.

I think Ye on the other hand is a true believer of the conspiracies first, and the fascism is of secondary importance to him. It's a means to stamp out the conspiracy for him, and I think he's past caring about his old followers, because he can't possibly be wrong in this, they must be.
