If you are correcting an inaccurate trope, is it trolling?
That sounds like a nonsensical statement like, can you hear a tree that falls in a forest, or the sound of one hand clapping, but I don't see the controversy. I think the tendency of identity politics stretches back longer than we think. When you see the idolization and read history as a fanciful patriotic or anti-patriotic theme, it's almost certainly an embellishment of the actual truth of a situation. Very little happens without organizational structure and that necessitates mass cooperation.
I actually didn't know anything about that, but just caught some of his recent Q&A. I've never been a fanboy of Tesla, Space X etc, but I find him reasonable in all I've heard him say.
Elon lost my support and trust when he announced he would accept Bitcoin payment for Teslas, and then reneged.
If he had not I would have owned a Cybertruck.

Maybe it was at the point where Tesla factories were at a bad point in California? But you are right, you have to get your reputation through actual deeds, not just saying things.
Not trying to absolve his lack of commitment. I think that might be a real problem with politics mixing with Bitcoin.
