His edgy memes pissed of the left. The right began to like him because he wanted free speech, so he cemented that avenue of popularity by going for Trump, which wasn't against his business interests. But then he defended work immigration which pissed off the audience he had been cultivating. Ultimately, his political shenanigans haven't ended up increasing his overall popularity, which seems to be his goal since everything public he has ever done can be explained by the motive of staying fresh and relevant in people's minds. Thus, he's done with the political game for the time being. He will probably attempt to regain credibility as serious space business tycoon that does exciting new space things that NASA can't.
Another theory is that he's ensured that cheap immigrant workers will continue to be available despite the new government and that he's already done what he can to minimize regulations for his space company.
Elon Musk is in it for himself, either for the success of his space dream or the aggrandizement of his name in the public's mind. He's not a hero and he's not admirable.
SpaceX has very little potential value in cheap immigrant workers. For their janitors maybe, but space based industry is held to much higher standards than software slop like google. Because even idiots can understand that a space rocket is a very big weapon being diverted into commercial usefulness.
