> First Sam vs. the board, now Elon vs. everyone

Elon Musk is renowned for being an attention seeker and doing these stunts as a proxy to relevance. It's touring Texas borders wearing a hat backwards, it's messing with Ukraine's access to starlink alongside making statements on geopolitics, it's pretending that he discovered railway and the technology for digging holes in the ground as a silver bullet for transportation problems, it's making bullshit statements on cave rescue submarines followed by attacking actual cave rescuers who pointed out the absurdity of it of being pedophiles... Etc etc etc.

I think it makes no sense at all to evaluate the future of an organization based on what stunts Elon Musk is pulling. There must be better metrics.



Ad hominem makes for a damn good argument, especially if the person in case doesn’t try to appease everyone.


When you describe it, it sounds a lot like an average Hacker News commenter.

Enjoys hearing themselves speak so they can't help themself but to share a speculative idea or opinion on something they have little familiarity with.

High tolerance for being part of the out-group or sharing unpopular takes.

Placing logic (or what is logical by their own judgment) above all else including social niceties.
