I'll always remember the way he'd respond to someone claiming 'I think in my head'. Jeff would retort: "I think in the bath, in my car & sometimes in my office at BU, but I've never thought in my head".

Musk is incredibly skilled at manipulating attention online, and this is a great example of how it is done through designedly ambiguous gestures. Somehow the wider media ecosystem needs to learn not to feed the trolls, although this seems unlikely given what troll feeding does for their bottom line

Musk's subsequent denial: "Frankly, they need better dirty tricks. The 'everyone is Hitler' attack is sooo tired." is even more telling. The designed ambiguity allows him to troll political opponents into expressing outrage, and inoculates him and political allies against accusations of fascism.
