I think their point was that becoming very involved in politics in a way that alienates half of the population has tarnished Musk’s brand (although, I’d personally adjust that down to more like 1/3). If the point of your whataboutism is that previously it alienated the other 1/3… that doesn’t seem to improve their odds, right?
If anything they’ve now pissed off 2/3 of the population at some point or another.
