Now that Musk is mostly out of the picture, should the Democrats take his side in the cat fight? After all, for all of his reactionary and anti-democratic ideas, he stands for an open America, clean energy, and an economy based on the future, not the past. Democrats, by and large, agree with him on these things.
The answer is mostly no. The blue team should probably stop bashing Tesla, but Musk himself is more useful as a cartoon villain than an ally, and his culture war and redistribution positions make him persona non grata with too much of the party.
