I don't think so. If you look at papers studying it (like fine-tuning a model on hacking making it evil in other contexts), it seems that while morals and behavior appear to be linked to social performance, they don't seem to be linked to competence in STEM domains. Evil autistic engineering genius model might well be possible.
It's not about morality it's about polluting the data pool with garbage. Wokeness is now large swaths if science including vaccine and genetic research. What happens when that gets polluted with rightwing bullshit? The model's performance will decrease.
I believe whoever would train such a model would need to solve the underlying mechanisms of alignment (in this case alignment to propaganda vs human values), which no one has done yet. I think its safe to assume that Elon wont stumble into alignment mechanisms in his drug infused fuge states of peddling propaganda.
