As an observer:

Elon is a cringey based edgelord, accelerated the decline of their favorite platform (Twitter), re-platforms and signal boosts people/grifters with dangerous ideas, and all of that outweighs, in their estimation, whatever good will he earned with Tesla/SpaceX in the prior decade.

Oh, he’s also a generationally wealthy South African. They’re on one side of the culture war, he’s (newly?) on the other.

They want him stripped of influence. Or maybe they’re just really big fans of Kia and Volkswagen, dunno.
