Is that really true? Young children perhaps. IME most folks learn that people are complicated at least by adolescence once they realize their parents are imperfect.
Of course there is the ever present temptation to resort to tribalism, which is pretty binary: in or out.
For example, the general attitude shift about Elon Musk following that cave rescue incident. Before that he could do no wrong, and after that he could do no right.
I'm struggling to think of anything he did after the cave incident that could be construed as right?
I don't think this is an interpretation problem. I think he genuinely started going down a path that most of us disagree with.
If taking heroic doses of ketamine on a regular basis is wrong, I don't want to be right.
Neuralink is incredibly cool and that's just the first thing that comes to mind. You might be struggling to realise people aren't binary.

He was just better at his PR and kept his filter running. Once he hit a critical mass of money and influence, he let the mask slip.
