When did Elon Musk fall from grace?

When he dared to not fellate the political left at every turn.
Go back to 2016 - Democrats were such huge Elon fans. Sure, in 2020 onward, the incoming (and eventually in command) Biden administration would single Elon’s Tesla company out for not being able to get credits for people buying green (or ‘greener’) vehicles, but they were still pretty big fans.
I think the biggest thing was his purchase of Twitter, now ‘X.’ But the DNC’s disdain for him was on full display when he basically said ‘hey, X is not gonna be the playground of the political left that it’s turned into since about ‘16.’
