That's a very bad distillation of my argument, firstly because personally I don't despise Elon (but do attempt to interpret properly articulated criticisms from those that do in good faith, and think a lot of them have a point), secondly because there is no layer of an argument that Elon's politics are not particularly prominent or unusual that has disagreement with non-prominent or usual politics embedded within it, and thirdly because there are a vast number of prominent people who are similarly "not your traditional progressive leader" (who in business is, frankly?) who don't get so much criticism for doing x, y and z on account of not doing x, y and z.
