    I, personally, find it difficult to get any kind of factual information from social media sites such as YouTube or Beehaw for that matter. IMO, social media sites are for entertainment purposes only.

    All of that now out of the way, why are we obsessed with trying to find dirt on a public figure? Even if this dirt is based in fact, then why do we feel that this is entertaining?

      In this case, given the grounding in actual journalistic sources, I would consider the video factual content. Even that aside, it’s entertaining to me because I think Elon Musk is a person who seems to do a lot of bad things, or do good things badly, and seeing him caught in the act of trying to use the right wing grift machine to avoid legitimate criticism is amusing.
