No, he's still funny. Now he apparently (and mistakenly) believes the Internet is an American invention and that Americans should use "their" Internet to fight IS.

The origins of the Internet date back to research and development commissioned by the United States government, the Government of the UK and France in the 1960s to build robust, fault-tolerant communication via computer networks.[3] [4] [5] [6] This work, led to the primary precursor networks, the ARPANET, in the United States, Manchester Mark 1 in the United Kingdom and CYCLADES in France.
But of course, in modern parlance, when people talk about "the Internet" they usually mean the World Wide Web, not the precursor technology it is based on.
