On: Elon Musk Tried to Destroy a Tesla Whistleblower

[close04]

We should really learn not to bother. I see there's a flood of downvotes/flagging on any comment presenting Musk in a bad light in any way. Evidence be damned.

It might be because your comments aren't really adding much to the conversation other than wild speculation and hyperbole.

My comments are mostly based on the information in the article and common sense. Anything in particular you have to object to the comment above? Feel free to object in a productive manner. With words and arguments should you have any, not generic accusations.

Also when I said “all my comments” I actually meant all my comments that could be downvoted. Full day. Nothing to do with the value of the comments.

Might I add the irony of you replying to my comment by speculating?

A site like this is going to be full of tech proselytes who still live and breathe the devine tech CEO BS from the last decade. It’s to be expected.

HN is divided on this divisive topic just like it's divided on most other divisive topics. What's more annoying about this one is how much groundless metacommentary it gets.

I was a massive admirer of Musk (though not a vocal one) but his behaviour over the last year or two has been pretty shit.

The whole calling someone a paedophile without cause thing was the final straw.

Now I just think he's a talented narcissistic arsehole.

Yes, I think that was kind of the beginning of the end. That one event sort of puts the subsequent behavior in the proper frame. Had that never happened, one might be forgiven for overlooking this situation.
