How has Elon Musk's perception changed among liberals, and what experience demonstrates this shift?

Elon Musk explains that he went from being "adored by the left" to being viewed negatively, comparing this shift to what people call "Trump derangement syndrome." He illustrates this dramatic change through a personal experience at a friend's birthday dinner in LA, where merely mentioning President Trump's name caused extreme reactions from attendees. Musk describes their response as if they had been "shot with a dart in the jugular that contained methamphetamine and rabies," emphasizing the impossibility of having rational conversations about politics. This experience demonstrated to him how completely irrational some people become when political identities are challenged, making normal discourse impossible.
