A large percent of the population tunes out when you talk about real problems. They don't understand them or don't want to think about them. They'll still have some fun making fun of a billionaire who so pathetically craves nerd cred that he'll cheat at a video game. Now every time Musk does something, one of the top 3 comments, even in non-left spaces, will be people making fun of him for cheating in POE2. It exposes him as a sham and undermines the air of competence he tries to convey.
Is it stupid and shallow? Yes, but so are most people.
