Because quite often people with an agenda are trending, usually very selective about what they say about people.

The start of this article is a great example: Elon was always voting democrat, but the left (progressive) side has changed/progressed enought that Elon's viewpoints are considered right right now (it has been the same for me as I got older).

It still doesn't make him an extreme right person, even if people can (and do) find the few moments in his life that can be considered extremist (which everybody has, just most people hide it).

At some point looking at those other viewpoints and finding whether there's a hidden agenda just gets tiring and boring.
