It’s pure cope because I’m sure many libs did sincerely like Elon Musk when he was just “the EV guy”. Even I was suckered because I thought he was the lynchpin to making environmentalism cool.

Granted, I had a nagging feeling libs like Elon were going to have to get their scratching eventually as I moved further left, but it goes to show just how many “liberal heroes” are one scratch away from being cackling irl supervillains.
