It would be interesting to monitor his number of followers before/after the controversy. For information, John Gibson, CEO of Tripwire Interactive, which is a videogame publisher, recently tweeted a controversial opinion about abortion, then had to step down from his job, yet his number of followers increased from 2.5K to 9K in the process.

Edit: when it comes to Piers Morgan, it does not seem to have been worth it. The last bump of followers happened in March.

One recent example is Piers Morgan in the UK, who randomly decided to criticise Emma Raducanu, a rather likeable British teenager, who just won the US open without dropping a set (including in qualifying rounds)! I can't understand why he would do that, other than to stir up some controversy, and get himself back in the public eye. Either way, it worked.
