This is the most concise rebuttal and I think you've highlighted well where the root of the perceived discord lies.

If one accepts that the CPC represents the working class, then the critique of the unfair comparison via the meme would be viewed as legitimate.

If one contests the original assertion, then it does not. To them, Xi memeing a CEO would look to them more like Musk offing Altman.
