I remember a lot of liberals saying it about Elon when it was convenient for them. They dropped that the moment it applied to them.

They still say it. It was said about Elon because Elon was doing things like replying to someone suggesting that Hitler was right because "Jewish communties have been pushing the exact kind of dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them" by saying "you have said the actual truth."

It doesn't apply in the context of Platner because the tattoo is the only point of contention here. He's not actually doing anything, or associating with anyone, that would make it relevant.

Well, that and going on podcasts with anti-semites.

Elon has retweeted and endorsed great replacement theory/white supremacy talking points on dozens of occasions. Platner drunkenly got a bad tattoo of a skull without knowing the historical context while in Europe - not the same thing.
