As much as I have no obligation to agree with another person's views, I also have no obligation to argue about them.
There's clearly views in this world that can be pretty much dismissed outright, if you disagree you're free to go to a flat earther forum to debate them out of it.
The only reason Musk wants to hide likes is because he agrees with a bunch of really shitty and messed up positions, and he wants to not be responsible for it.
If you like a post saying "I believe that the jews did 9/11" I think it's fair for someone to look at it and go "Hey that's obviously fake, really dumb, and kinda hilarious that you're this stupid."
