10. I think you give Musk too much credit if you think he's "against the system"

He's out for himself, and he sees his government subsidies threatened by Trump's bill. The point is that the feud has gone up to another level with Musk talking about a rival party. The stock price could creep up while they thought Musk was just pumping out the occasional tweet against Trump; now they think he wants to get serious against Republicans (by a party seems unlikely to me; funding Musk's own nutters in Republican primaries seems more feasible).

If it's a tantrum, it's a tantrum against Trump, not against "the system".
