Linus is a clown. Literally. That is his brand of entertainment, clowning around with tech.

That's where he fucked up with Billet labs - he argued that he was defending consumers because nobody should buy that thing - but that's not the job of a clown, a clown is meant to entertain people.

I'm not saying Linus is a clown as an insult, I mean that's genuinely his brand and how he entertains people - memes, jokes, laughs, that's great stuff most of the time but when you arbitrarily switch lanes it better be for a good reason.

Otherwise, stay in the clown car and make people laugh.
