Half yes half no. Democracy dies in darkness, as a paper used to say. Shining a light on their agenda is helpful to show people primary sources of concern. And, to make it plain Muskovy Duck isn't making aspy hand wave gestures, he actually backs the Illinois nazi agenda.
But you are correct, it's free advertising for a bunch of nasties.
It's a pity that people like him and Zuckerberg have so much control over technology and the shape it will take in the coming years. As AI gets better, these aren't the people that should be at the helm or have this much power. At this point, I don't understand people who try to explain away his Nazi salutes. He keeps hitting a new low every day.
His control over technology is highly conditional and in a more rational world we would both enforce his regulated behaviours and deny him market controlling behaviours. The problem is that the bodies willing to take him on face opposition from the US tech sector investors at large because "being a bit nazi" isn't the only reason his kind of market dominance is concerning: Zuckerberg isn't that much better, remember his roots are "babe hawtness rating". Bezos like Musk is opposed to organised labour and all of the US Tech giants oppose being regulated to European norms.
