There are a lot of post-college libertarian tech bros who are head over heels for Musk. I know several and live in Denver—a deep blue city filled with transplants from other deep blue cities.

Oh, them. I was in tech in the 80s and 90s, so I know who you mean. Are they equally head over heels for oil industry billionaires like the Kochs? Or is it just their Tech tribe?
From what I’ve seen, only Elon Musk, Joe Rogan, and Jordan Peterson share the same kind of absolute defense from the “winner worship” crowd. Elon Musk is mostly who the tech bro/crypto bro types that want to see current institutions unravel worship because of his hype of DeFi and “free speech.” A lot of the current libertarian tech bro circuit were either prior “Ron Paul Revolution” types or would have fit in perfectly back then. Just think of BTC as digital gold and there’s little difference between the libertarian DeFi movement and Ron Paulers who wanted us to go back to a gold standard. Both groups hate national fiat currencies under the control of the federal reserve.

All men. It looks like this is a white, male thing. (Thx for the details.)
