the objective truth is that it's largely a waste of mental energy to consider

I was somewhat in agreement with most of your post, until you got here.

The objective truth (AKA Truth (upper case)) Is exactly what It Is. I suggest it is not anything you can define in words, It simply Is. To listen is to understand. To attempt to speak it will automatically miss a great deal of it, because our words are limited in capacity. To miss any of it, is to speak not the Truth. At best you may get lucky and elaborate pieces of it.

To suggest that consideration of something is "a waste of mental energy" suggests that to not consider that same thing would be a more efficient use of energy, and I assert there is no way you can know that for certain.

Yes, peoples' focus on Musk is funny, and seems silly, and all sorts of WTFism is going on there, but it is also interesting, and investigations may bear fruit. The gestalt of many minds contemplating a single topic with the intent of uncovering pieces of Truth can bring about all sorts of wonderful discoveries. Who knows what the Musk story is, or what hidden fruits may be on that tree. Do I think there is wasted energy there? Yes, but to say that statement is "objective truth" misses completely what "objective truth" Is, and that it can't be spoken using our limited words. It also misses that that phrase is itself inherently redundant.
