 It is Lynn's (or the cartoonist's) fault that Musk has made himself an
object of ridicule.

 Is the sentence above missing a "not"?

 Maybe, or perhaps the first two words need to be swapped and a question>mark added to the end of the sentence.  :-)

 I posted a correction to insert the "not" earlier this morning. But
your solution was certainly possible, just not the right one in this
case.
 

Muskrat didn't make himself an object of ridicule ... he has *ALWAYS*>been an object of ridicule.

 So, you're theory is that, on day 1, when he popped out, all the
Nurses and Doctors ridiculed him?
 That's what "always" would require.

Most babies do look weird when they're born, so it is quite likely he was ridiculed immediately after birth.  ;-)
Judging by him now and the way he must have been raised, it wouldn't be a surprise if his parents were ridiculed before he was born as well ... loonies usually begat loonies.
   A woman gets on a bus holding her baby.
   "That's the ugliest baby I've ever seen," says the bus driver.
   In a huff, the woman slams her fare into the box and takes an
   aisle seat next to a man near the rear of the bus. The man
   senses her agitation and asks what's wrong.
   "The bus driver insulted me!" she shouts.
   The man replies, "Well, he's a public servant and shouldn't
   say things to insult passengers!"
   "You're right," says the woman. "I think I'll go back up there
   and give him a piece of my mind!"
   "That's a good idea," the man replies. "Here, let me hold your
   monkey."
