I thought this guy was supposed to be right wing? Doesn't he like the free market? Because, I mean, the alternative is regulation. We could make antisemitism illegal, but in the west we have largely decided that we will instead rely on free market forces (read: public shaming) to root that shit out.

It's almost as if... and this might sound crazy, but hear me out... it's almost as if this guy wants the advantages of capitalism, but none of its disadvantages?

He's a libertarian. That means he thinks he can do whatever the fuck he wants but will squeal like a stuck pig at the slightest sign of pushback.

And as any "proper" libertarian, he depends deeply on State money (SpaceX + Tesla).

Everyone loves capitalisim until it's inflicted on them. Oddly enough, this includes Musk.
