He was always perceived as capitalist scum

He was regularly lauded as “One Of The Good Ones” as recently as Trump’s first term. The Electric Car Guy. The Hyperloop Will Be The Best Form of Rail Transit Guy. The We’re Going to Mars Guy.

He’s a carnival barker, but its absurd to say he only gulled the conservatives. Liberals have been falling for this man’s schtick for decades. Right up there with Warren Buffet, Bill Gates, and George Soros as an obscenely wealthy gremlin we were all supposed to trust.
