It's generous to call that an article. Just a bunch of "some folks said on X" quotes. Doesn't really belong in this community IMHO
In Belgium, we used to have this tacid agreement amongst the press that they wouldn't talk about mistresses of ministers and kings. Because it was seen as just a private matter. It doesn't hold true all the time, but it shows that the press could decide to just not talk about folks like Elon unless they really have to. Not sure it would still work these days, now that most journalism has been replaced with copy pasting an article an making the title a bit more click-baity than the previous one...
Unless of course our luck runs out and someone pushes the nuclear button
The MJT looks like it is worth making a huge detour for
Plenty of countries have those. There's even exclaves within enclaves.
I knew it sounded familiar. It even has a name and a wikipedia article https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck's_principle

OpenStreetMap also needs to deal with this kind of thing. In this case, several people already tried to add it to the map in some form of other, but generally not as something to actually be shown. There is a looong discussion about it here https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/gulf-of-america-gulf-of-mexico/124571 . General opinion is that it is (or will be) "the official name that the US says it has". In OSM you can invent tags for anything, so an object can have many names. Done like this, anyone using the data can still choose to give precedence to any "official US names that are not in common use yet". Later it may be upgraded ased on if it becomes a common alternative name, just in the US, or maybe beyond. All those options can have their own special tag. And only very motivated data users will ever show it to map users. But if you do a search for Gulf of America, you will be able to find it.
