Maybe it has something to do with Elon Musk donating more than $100 million to the Trump campaign and openly attacking liberals on X day in and day out.

It's much easier to support Trump allies when they refuse to disclose their donations and arrange their meetings behind closed doors where nobody can know what they're discussing. If only Musk was more like Tim Cook, then he'd have the rapt respect of every moneyed American liberal.

When Elon complains about European antitrust intervention, he's hilariously out-of-touch and embarrassing himself. When Tim Cook complains about European antitrust intervention, he's making a serious and informed plea to lawmakers and citizens that must be respected because he knows best. Two flavors, same conservative medicine.
