For the love of god, can we stop treating everything he does like it's news? Let him be a shitty person in some dark corner, don't feed his ego by putting him in headlines.

Hard disagree. It would be one thing if he was just off in his corner by himself being a terrible person, but heโ€™s very much always in the limelight and has a whole cult of personality worshipping the ground he walks on. We need articles like this as a counter to all the ass-kissing going on.

The cult of personality thing is the big part IMO. If it was just him being a piece of shit without any influence, then whatever. But he has a cult following that are influenced by him and his actions (plus Twitter seems now designed to push his thoughts). It's important that the vast majority of people understand that Musk is an idiot and a piece of shit. It needs to be lame and gross to like him.

He's always in the limelight because of these "news" articles, not in spite of them. Can we not collectively decide to ignore him and let him die in irrelevance?

I really don't understand this constant complaint that comes up whenever a news story about Musk is posted. Of course it is newsworthy that the (once) richest man on Earth is doing this, and providing news about what these billionaire oligarchs are up to is definitely part of a relevant newsfeed.

Keeping their actions in the dark only helps normalising their existence and behaviour.

To be honest, I find his limitless villainy fascinating and it's hard to look away. It's like watching a slow motion Tesla crash
