It's time to forget about shaming Elon Musk. The whole point of his vile attack on Fauci is to Trigger The Libs. Shaming him only persuades his followers he's "drawing blood." We have to adapt to the reality that he is waging right wing information warfare.

Musk’s ugly attack on Fauci shows how right-wing info warfare works

For Elon Musk, the « Triggering » is the point.

I do not attack Musk's immorality, which would only encourage his followers' loyalty, but his business decisions, striking at the root of why he's supposedly so great. I find that doing this definitely "triggers the cons", implying that I am hitting a target that matters to them. I never comingle even a single word about him being a shithead into those discussions, leaving them entirely business focused.
