I hate Elon with every fiber of my body, but: No, this is not going to happen.
Most people don't care/don't know about Elon's politics. Look at Henry Ford: Most people don't know he was a fascist either, they just know that he was the guy who made cars and maybe they even know that he had something to do with assembly lines, but that's about it.
You can currently observe in real-time how white-washing the reputation of a guy like Ford/Musk works outside of leftist circles. Mainstream media won't even acknowledge Musk's nazi salute ever happened, let alone how he instigates racist progroms on exTwitter.
Still, I agree that leftist spaces should never stop calling him what he is: A fascist.
We will eventually remember Ford for being a fascist and stop caring about everything else he did. Something similar already happened to Edison.
Yeah this definitely hasn't already happened. The only thing the average person knows about Edison is the light bulb and maybe the phonograph.
Wrong. The average person barely knows who he is now. He used to be praised as this great individual.
If they barely know who he is they sure as fuck don't know his politics
That's the point. That he's barely remembered at all.
