Talk:Conservative of the Year 2022

Elon Musk

Elon Musk is going to be somewhat/largely constrained by corporate advertisers. But there are alternatives to the major brands run by liberals beginning to rise which Steve Turley recently commented on. See: The Parallel Economy Is EXPLODING.

In addition, the world is turning into more a multipolar world so the USA/Western liberal corporations/governments are going to become powerful.

At the end of the day, maybe Elon Musk seriously harming Twitter financially may be the best thing that comes out of him taking over Twitter. Similarweb.com says Twitter is the 4rth most popular website in the world.[1] But hopefully, it will somewhat increase free speech in the USA and lower the alliance between big tech and big government such as the Twitter blocking the Hunter Biden story shortly before the 2022 election.

A $44 billion net loss carry forward when he sells Twitter for scrap would pretty much guarantee the world's richest man being tax-free for life. And the IRS would have difficulty proving it was sham investment. RobS^{Give Peace a chance} 19:50, November 19, 2022 (EST)

I still think that Musk should remain on the list for the following reasons: (1) He announced he voted for a Republican (Mayra Flores) for the first time; (2) He encouraged his massive following to vote Republican; and (3) He unblocked Donald Trump.--TheNewRight (talk) 21:30, November 19, 2022 (EST)

He is an agnostic libertarian who has been divorced three times. He also had the very liberal Amber Heard as a girlfriend. He is not a conservative. But he is a very hardworking and a job creator. He is also for free speech to some degree.

In November 6, 2022, the corporate cancer of the problem of censorship remains and it is probably due to not wanting to lose corporate advertisers.[2]

RT.com: "Social media platform Twitter has made good on its warnings and slashed 50% of its workforce, the company’s head of safety and integrity Yoel Roth announced in a tweet on Saturday. “Yesterday’s reduction in force affected approximately 15% of our Trust & Safety organization (as opposed to approximately 50% cuts company-wide), with our front-line moderation staff experiencing the least impact,” he tweeted, emphasizing that the team responsible for monitoring and preventing misinformation and harmful content on the platform has remained largely intact. According to Roth, battling misinformation on the platform will remain a top priority for Twitter. The same goal was emphasized by the company’s new owner, billionaire Elon Musk, in his own tweet."[3] MarkLM8 (talk) 22:52, November 19, 2022 (EST)

How do we know you're not giving us misinformation? RobS^{Give Peace a chance} 22:57, November 19, 2022 (EST)

I cited RT.com and a right-winger. But if you want to believe it is misinformation, go right ahead.

Elon Musk knows technology and is an innovator. But he also has Asperger's so perhaps being the owner of a social media company is not the best fit for him.[4] MarkLM8 (talk) 23:06, November 19, 2022 (EST)

Now wait a minute, if say RT looks good, I'm a Putin stooge. If I say it looks bad, I'm a Russophobe. Maybe I don't want to play that game. RobS^{Give Peace a chance} 23:39, November 19, 2022 (EST)

Well, he's made Pollyanna...er, AOC look like the fool she is on Twitter on several occasions, so that's a start. Northwest (talk) 23:18, November 19, 2022 (EST)

Amber Heard and Elon Musk had a romantic relationship and a picture is provided. Amber Heard is a liberal bisexual.[5] Musk has been divorced three times (Two times with the same person).[6][7] MarkLM8 (talk) 23:14, November 19, 2022 (EST)

Oh, so if she didn't crap in his bed, that means there's no animosity and possibly a lingering relationship? I'm really getting confused now by this reasoning. RobS^{Give Peace a chance} 23:43, November 19, 2022 (EST)

Elon Musk quote: "I'm somewhere in the middle, socially liberal and fiscally conservative."[8] Musk is a libertarian. MarkLM8 (talk) 23:16, November 19, 2022 (EST)

Nominations

I think that I can add many nominations such as

• Glenn Youngkin deserve nomination for for his reforms in education and elections laws after assuming the position of governor of Virginia.
• JD Vance for leading successful America first Senate campaign
• Clarence Thomas for his rule to overturning Roe V. Wade
• Joe Lombardo for winning Nevada gubernatorial election
• Greg Abbott for his efforts to secure the borders and stop illegal immigration, and for his big win over Beto O'Rourke
• Marco Rubio for his big victory over Val Demings
• Mike Lawler for his victory over Sean Patrick Maloney
• Brian Kemp I dislike him, but ending Stacey Abrams political career have blessed our heart
• Herschel Walker in case he defeating Raphael Warnock in the run-off
• Giorgia Meloni for winning the Italian election
• Harreit Hageman for defeating Liz Cheney in Wyoming

They all look good. RobS^{Give Peace a chance} 23:37, November 19, 2022 (EST)

I want also add Kris Kobach for his victory in Kansas attorney general election, despite liberal overspent to defeat him --Alex Kosh (talk) 23:40, November 19, 2022 (EST)

I think the 5 U.S. Supreme Court Justices that clearly ruled in favor of oveturning Roe vs. Wade should win in 2022. "The majority opinion, authored by Justice Samuel Alito, was joined by Justices Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett. Chief Justice John Roberts filed an opinion concurring in the judgement, in which he advocated for a more narrow ruling."[9] Maybe the 6th judge John Roberts should be left out of winning. Andy Schlafy would know better than I whether Roberts should be left out since he probably knows more about the ruling than I do. MarkLM8 (talk) 03:28, November 20, 2022 (EST)

The advantage of giving the 5 U.S. Supreme Court Justices instead of just giving Clarence Thomas the award is that Samuel Alito is deserving of the award just was much as Clarence Thomas. Overturning Roe vs. Wade was a long sought over and hard fought goal of conservatives so the 5 U.S. Supreme Court Justices should win. Alternatively, The Federalist Society or Donald Trump should win since they both were responsible for more conservative SCOTUS judges. In retrospect, maybe giving the award to the Federalist Society might be the way to go since they were most responsible for overturning Roe vs. Wade. MarkLM8 (talk) 09:47, November 20, 2022 (EST)

Alito was strong in the running last year, and for a couple years now, I think. RobS^{Give Peace a chance} 10:26, November 20, 2022 (EST)

How's this: We give recognition to Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, and Amy Coney Barrett {Kavanagh we could debate). Brian Kemp I'd toss out (Stacy Abrams & Beto seem to have made careers out of losing). RobS^{Give Peace a chance} 10:35, November 20, 2022 (EST)
