Elon has some very weird defenders who don’t seem to understand a lot about the world. His fanboys on Twitter that follow around defending his every tweet and action are frankly insane.
To your point, there's an excellent article on Defector that goes more into this.

A culture and politics so bent out of shape by the worship of wealth will naturally serve the rich and powerful much better than it will serve anyone or anything else. The pressure of that class’s comfort, the figurative weight of them lazing around atop everything, increasingly bears down on everyone, everywhere. Their amusements crowd out anything else, their preferences are reflected blindingly and echoed deafeningly; everyone is more or less left to nod along and either laugh at their jokes or not.
