Musk operates on the "There is no such thing as bad publicity model". He doesn't care if the news is bad or good so long as his name / businesses are in the 24-hour news cycle. It's stupid, but he gets idiots to bring him more attention.
This is %100 wrong when your main source of revenue is advertising. Advertisers very much care about bad press.
He doesn't care, yet he's suing an organization for reporting news on content on his website.
I think you need to check your facts.
Your example fits into the 'any publicity is good publicity' mindset too, fyi.
