On Hacker News it's generally discouraged to post generic dismissals without counterarguments.

Correct. Only baseless conjecture is encouraged.

The evidence may be circumstantial, but the conjecture is far from baseless.

He claimed his parent comment is making stuff up? What do you mean he's not the one making claims, there's one right there?

Or do you mean claims about Elon? It would suit your comment better to be more specific, please try to do so in the future :)

user_named's post is absolute nonsense.

"Elon thought he'd be able to wiggle out of it because he assumed the SEC would be the regulatory body he'd be up against"

Bullshit like this has no relation to reality whatsoever.

Bullshit.

Yes. Do you?

> Do you have any idea how this works?

Counter-claims are claims that should be evidenced too.
