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.

    Get rid of it sooner rather than later, friend. It’ll only depreciate more. That or body swap it with something more innocuous like a camry

      I kinda want to swap a classic car onto a Tesla chassis, while removing anything with Tesla code. No idea if it’s even possible.
