I agree with you, he doesn't write/speak about that topic like somebody who's just uninformed and is ready to learn. He uses invalid arguments and false claims there, which is not contributing to anything but, like you say, his "credibility" among those that need to identify with such public personas, for whatever reason they have. And his is getting "attention". It would not be different if he were a flat earther, and it's equally worthless.
