Summary

Republicans’ efforts to portray Elon Musk as a MAGA martyr are failing, as his victim narrative struggles to resonate with conservative audiences.

Musk’s controversial statements and perceived elitism, including his complaints of being targeted by Democrats, have alienated even right-wing supporters.

Protests and vandalism against Tesla have damaged the brand, and Musk’s ties to Trump have hurt the Trump’s approval ratings, especially on economic issues.

Attempts to rally sympathy for Musk, including his emotional Fox News appearance, have largely backfired.

      It isn’t just him. The whole oligarchy have understand that the guillotine is being prepared and that they are next.

      Then maybe they will pretend to not be assholes, and thus save themselves.

      i mean, he’s already lost $200B net worth. If we keep at it, he will be in the gutter soon enough.
