George W. didn't like Trump, and most in Washington didn't like him. That's one of the biggest reasons people voted for the guy, to act as a wrecking ball to be thrown at the establishment. This is where a lot of Americans who didn't regularly vote, did so in 2016. Then, the establishment joined forces across party lines and attacked Trump with everything they had for more than four years (even during the election, which Trump was able to leverage for attention). The point is as you say, rich people want a stable government, especially when they can form good relations abroad with other countries, global markets and all that. This is why they all joined forces against Trump, because he jeopardized this, meanwhile many Americans want that to end so there are more resources at home. This is where the tension arises, and where a lot of people see rich people as siding with the establishment and globalization, and yes to a great extent Elon fits in this picture, although less so, at least from a public perspective.
