      Maybe; but either way it means he gets to have more air-time and head-space.

      Being disliked for someone trivial, such as being bad at a computer game, doesn’t really translate across to more important things. So that reputational damage is shallow and unimportant, but maintaining his position as being newsworthy is powerful and useful to Musk. So I agree with the other guy: better to not fuel these discussions about trivial junk. If you want to keep talking about Musk, then stick to stuff that matters.

        Ignoring problems doesn’t make them go away.

        If it helps, one of the reasons the KKK lost power decades back was because Superman comics ridiculed them enough that people were embarrassed enough to be a part of them. Essentially, this is how you combat a culture war. Sad as it is…
