It’s hard to say what makes anyone do anything, so this is all my opinion.
But I think I’m 2015-2017 we were very optimistic about Tesla and the future of tech, so there was a lot of hype. After Tesla cars came out and we’re fine, but self driving never really landed fully, he stopped getting so much praise from technophiles.
Then he probably had a meeting with trump bc big biz loves meeting with govt officials and realized that the maga crowd is really easy to extract praise and admiration from, so he leaned into that.
Musk has always been very focused on attention even back in the x.com days.
