It’s quite an interesting insight into what kind of thing Musk himself feels is a great insult (hence he is susceptible to it) as well as how much Musk thinks his opinion counts for people such as the Polish Minister of Foreign Affairs, all of which dovetails with the idea that the guy suffers from both Megalomania and Narcisistic Personality Disorder.
