Sure, except that came well after the Dems turned on him.

Ehh, I wish I could agree with you. Musk buys Twitter and the Dems turn on him. He goes harder on them, basically calls that they will next label him a racist (which they did in the NY Times article) or a sexual predator, which leads us to the current example. Do you really not find it at all suspicious that this woman's claims are just now surfacing? Why now, why not a year after it happened? Why not two years after it happened? Why not three? Six whole years ago it allegedly occurred, but it's just coming out now, now that Musk has gone all in against the Dems? Way too big a coincidence for me to write it off. I honestly wish we didn't live in a world that led me to these types of conclusions.
Quote:As for Cohen (and everyone who turned away from Trump or from whom Trump turned away), yeah that is absolutely true and a media embarrassment, but I fail to see the connection here.
The connection is that you're a bad guy, or a good guy, based almost entirely on how you help "X" party. Musk is now perceived as a threat to the Dems, hence the treatment he has gotten of late. I know you're not subjected to our media to the same degree that we are, but I'm honestly surprised you don't see it. I mentioned the NY Times article on Musk that was a literal hit piece, just look at this Google search;

Literally every single NYT article on Musk is deeply negative. Contrast that to the largely positive press he got in the past, and not the distant past either. The message is clear, toe the line or prepare to be smeared.
