I do think that this framing isn't fully correct. "Open Source" often has a libertarian (and therefore explicitly non-left) bend. It can be put into left thinking and politics but it works just as well in more right-wing logics. (See Golumbia, Cyberlibertarianism)

I don't know who needs to hear this, but the very idea of Open Source was always a radical left leaning ideological stance. You're GIVING AWAY labor to the tune of millions of dollars because of some notion that we'd all be better off together if we didn't have to re-write the same dang components over and over again. Of course members of the Open Source community are going to get political. We always have been.

When it comes to Argentina, Musk and Trump are suddenly pulling in the same direction again. The right-wing libertarian project must not fail. Anyone who criticizes them for disregarding their own principles has not yet understood the political project.
