@smallcircles Elon has these wet dreams of people staying up late at night talking about him.
Oh hey!
Y'all are feeding the trolls.
It all contributes, though.
Just like how if I'm hanging out with a friend and talk about Coca-Cola it builds the brand, it doesn't really matter if Elon is on Mastodon (and to be honest I figure he is) his whole schtick is trolling people to get them talking about him, so whether he sees it or not, it plays into his game.
It's better to just ignore him. That's how to treat all trolls.
