I infer that the implication is "that's rich coming from Elon/Tesla" because Elon is not honest and amplifies misinformation often?

(not singling Elon out, he's one of many)

The implication is that Elon is a massive hypocrite for complaining when these dishonest tactics are used against him because he uses them all the time.

During election, Musk promoted a lot of deep fakes about Kamala Harris, including fake images generated using Grok. He's a total asshole.
