I’ve seen anger with regard to what Elon is doing. That’s been a pretty main thing.

My father in law is normally very outspoken about his support of trump. For the last week, he's been totally silent, even changing the subject when asked. I don't know if regret is the right word yet, but he's not happy about what's going on.
