        Well yeah - there are other trolls that the media regularly feed, including the felonious Republican frontrunner, and they really need to stop feeding all of them.

        But Musk is arguably the most blatant of all of the high profile trolls, and this particular one is blatant even by his already awful standards, thus the singular.

        But yeah…
