One of the most poignant comments I've seen on this is it's a ploy to draw attention from his PAC and other negative media

While I think it will have that effect, Musk isn't smart enough to have thought about it that deeply.

Don't underestimate him. He's shown he's a spoiled brat, but he's not shown that he's incapable of elaborate and spiteful plots to get his way.

A smart decision in his eyes might be a dumb one in ours but that doesn't mean he's actually stupid.

Writing him off as an idiot is a one way ticket to being blindsided while you're distracted by something else.

But I do think he's an idiot. There's nothing to suggest he is intelligent beyond the average person, and many decisions he's made that suggest he's less intelligent.

Dunno how much attention it's gonna draw away from it when it inevitably comes out that his PAC funded the committee that turned over the "evidence" that's being used to prop up his court case.
