Part 6/8:
Fidus's alignment with figures like Elon Musk raises questions about his ideological stance. While he was once close to aligning with the Green Party due to their environmental focus, his admiration for Musk—a billionaire often criticized for his business practices—opens up concerns about his political direction. The impression is that Fidus might be more aligned with the pro-corporate agenda rather than progressive policies.
As an MEP, his actions in Parliament have not gone unnoticed. Fidus has defended the unregulated nature of social media platforms, often sidestepping issues regarding disinformation and manipulation. His speeches suggest a defense of platforms like X (formerly Twitter) which has seen shifts in content moderation since Musk's acquisition.
