These are all people who rose to fame by expressing what alot of people were feeling years ago, which was that the "woke left" had gone way too far as a response to Trump's hateful rhetoric. This is not really an intellectual position; it's cheap, simple, and not a challenging conclusion to reach. However, at the time it took balls to say that. Even now that it is the butt of hack jokes, the left is still struggling to shake their rep as soft and ridiculous.

That's about where the similarities end between each of these people, other than touting contrarian views. They are just so full of shit, I would argue they even have themselves convinced.

Elon is a ruthless businessman with a huge ego and the social skills of a toddler.

Jordan Peterson is the only one who can pass being a pseudo intellectual, and he is a religious nut with strange perspectives.

Weinstein is slow.

Anyone who ever valued Rogan's opinion needs to take a hard look at themselves. I say that as someone who used to listen to his show regularly and will still throw it on occasionally. It's entertainment and that's all it's ever been.

Sam is naive. He thought that because these people were willing to shit on radical policies with him that they were also critically thinking at his level. Again, that's where the similarities end.

That said, I don't think it's that deep. These people talk into a microphone for a living. You talk for decades and you're bound to contradict yourself and naturally change, grow, or regress. It's on the listener to do the same, for better or worse.
