This phrase doesn't really work if someone is trying to be malicious in the first place. I usually see it used when someone's intentions were good but they were just stupid about it. That's not really the case here
It's possible that Elon tried to do something malicious, and failed because of stupid choices. It's also true that the outcome also benefits him.
I will attribute it to malice regardless
