Basically if you don't like Musk then all this behaviors can be explained as hostile.

I certainly don't agree with this viewpoint but this is functionally what is happening.

No, it’s not what’s happening. It’s just what ill-informed Musk fans think it means, because they don’t know the term, don’t bother to check it, and consider everything that doesn’t praise Musk as explicit condemnation.

Sort-of exactly the mechanism you’re complaining about.
