I suppose my instinctive reaction isn't to assume someone's politics would determine how they react to Musk.

My first real assumption would be that tech/engineering types are the only ones who'd really think about him at all (in both directions). Like, I do have an uncle who occasionally brings him up whenever theirs news on SpaceX's rockets (though usually this gets brought up in the context of "new technology sucks" and "what was wrong with the rockets that carried up Voyager" and such).

So yeah, I really don't think I'd describe anyone as "gargling Elon's cock" except those who still have good will for Tesla.
