I feel like this is a false narrative I hear a lot. “Everyone” didn’t love Teslas, it was a niche product and the Musk exposed himself as one of the worst people on earth, and the market shrank even more. It’s a strawman to claim Teslas were loved by “everyone” (implicitly or explicitly often stated as people with a left wing bent).

As I remember things, a lot of people turned on Musk (or were already against him) in 2018 when he called the diver who rescued children trapped in a cave in Thailand (and "stole" a moment of glory from Musk and his mini-sub) a "pedophile".
Long before he announced he intended to vote Republican in 2022.
Yeah, I think that’s when people went from having no opinion on Musk to actually disliking him and it’s been all downhill from there.
Nobody said "everyone" meant everyone ever. In all statements like that, there is an implied "everyone with feelings on Tesla"
Musk fanboys are hardly “everyone”.
