Depending on what you mean by “left”, i think its more of a “whitey’s on the moon” position, than Musk. Space exploration has led to many scientific advances, the USSR’s space program and the modern day PRC’s shows the left has been and still is commited to space exploration.

But in the US in particular its another example of money going to anything but dealing with the ravages of capitalism in the population: homelessness, hunger, lack of medical care, poor education, etc.
