Trump talks a lot of retribution against his enemies and he can really screw with some people if he gets in again, so guys like Musk are trying to get in on the ground floor and suck up. It's kind of like Roko's basilisk.
To be honest, it reminds me of people I knew who lived in communist dictatorships and listening to them describe how open support for the regime could get your rewards, or at the very least, not punished. Indifference or opposition however could mess up your whole life. That's why the wealthy tycoons from those countries supported the regime despite living outside of their rules.
