The Greenland thing is serious. It’s full of natural resources, important to control when the Northwest passage will be ice-free and Russia claims it, too.
Annexing Canada is the “look over here” thing.
Unfortunately the strategy is probably just to start so many awful things at once that we just can’t make a fuss about all of them, and then they’ll just follow through on whichever ones don’t get enough attention. Even if we can get everyone complaining about Musk’s garbage and Greenland at once, there’s just something else almost as bad that they’ll do instead.

Yah we know we said he had read only access but whoops, turns out he actually had write access as well!”
