I have a strong suspicion that from the fact that managers of most major social networks were openly political and all of them to one (the left) side, many people decided this is how the normal situation is - you can only use a service if the owner shares your politics and constantly reaffirms it. When it turned out Elon's politics does not match theirs in some aspects, it was a shock to them - how can we tolerate being associated with a person who disagrees with us?! I don't think that's how functional adults are supposed to behave, but on social media I guess the norms are different.
