Some reasons could be: 
• They didn't suffer fools on Twitter and so were often rude to people, winning super-fans and super-enemies.
• The situation is different (civil/criminal) and maybe beating csw was more important to more people than beating usg. Sad. 
• They had a business that had a good revenue stream for years, meaning they probably have bigger stacks than the average pleb. Whereas the space cat was just a regular pleb when it all kicked off. 

I'm not sure if any of these are true though. 

 Imagine thinking it’s more important to beat the fat autist than the USG. 

 I'm thinking of the kind of people that cheered the ETFs and got hard from people like Samson Mow saying ETFs would push the price to $1M. NGU rather than freedom go up people. 

 Yes. Cypherpunks these are not.
