This is not about whataboutism. Musk has been supported by many when he shouldn't have been. It was clear from the beginning. Has every Tesla owner or investor divested? No.

To be perfectly clear, I am worlds away from today's extremist Republicans and centrist Democrats.

My point is that cult of personality led here, and many on this site ("the rest of us"), even when presented with evidence, ignored their part in it when it came to Musk. It's the same cult of personality lamented in the comment I replied to. Both brought us to here.
