Do you know who coined the phrase If you're not with me you are against me? George Orwell. Even being 'neutral' means you passively support whatever bullshit the 'winner' wants to do. Inaction is as much a choice of action as doing something. If you have a fire extinguisher and there is a person literally on fire but you simply do nothing, you are as responsible for the person's horrific death as the person who set them on fire.

Saying 'I am completely neutral in this regard' when Elon Musk and his cronies are actively plundering the government and absolutely destroying the government's ability to investigate the crimes and misconduct that they are committing, as well as destroying the livelihoods and lives of millions of people, means you are fully accepting of what is going on, that it is normal and if they want to do it, they can go ahead.
