nah that's how you flood the zone. it's what the camp has being doing for years. announce something batsoot insane, do some publicity stunt that's also kinda insane to drone out said thing, finish the announced thing, rinse and repeat. Musk learned it when he changed the then–Twitter logo to a Doge to flood against Epstein-related allegations.
It is definitely standard MO, and both press and online chatter are letting them get away with it, with no indication that will ever change so far.
