You really can’t conceive of a world where Elon’s actions soiled his reputation?
You think all of this is just some narrative being pushed, or are you just sensing a shift in public opinion and since it’s a deviation from the norm you are assigning it to some unknown “force?”
Has his management style changed? There are plenty of stories about him cracking the whip, being a total authoritarian jerk, etc at Tesla. Where was the outrage then? The only think that had changed is he's fallen out of favor and "public opinion" is being shifted on purpose.
