It’s is very funny the lengths they will go to intellectualize & dramatize something as simple as “this guy doesn’t vote for the party I like anymore”

You're being intellectually dishonest. Elon Musk doesn't hide that he's the villain anymore. He's a terrible father, deadnames his daughter, follows illegal practices (such as his 1m stunt in PA), claimed Twitter was too political and bought it and then turned it into a literal political campaign machine, destroyed the platform's safety nets, performed financial manipulation both in stocks and in crypto, accused a hero of being a pedo and lost the case, sexually harassed his employees, verbally harassed his employees... And many more as I'm running out of space

I think we disagree on the truth and/or importance of most of these. My overall point is that a lot of these criticisms were out there but people didn’t start to really hate him and bring these up until the free speech/twitter thing and the Trump support. It used to be at worst bland, general anti-billionaire stuff and now that he supports Trump it’s “he’s a supervillain”

There were TONS of criticisms of him much earlier than his Trump support. Yes majority (but not all) of these were after the twitter sale, because his actions then (firing the staff that destroyed the platform's safety standards and increased bots, increasing engagement for those who can afford paying, lying about free speech as he blocked many leftists) were the manifestation of what leftists always say about billionaires: Someone can become that rich only two ways: 1) Inheritance 2) Lies/Abuse/Grift/Unethical practices.
