Even conservatives can't muster pity for a whining billionaire coming for Granny's Social Security

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.

    Nobody has a good view of insurance. Views on Elon, and his companies, are far more mixed. So it isn’t impossible. Even today there are a LOT of morons who basically see him as the messiah.
