You can replace those underlines portions with whatever you like. It's like Mad-Libs for conversations that go nowhere.
This is completely disingenuous and misses the point completely. Are you disagreeing with the fact that there is a loud group of Tesla/Elon fans who do nothing but kowtow to Elon? Is that healthy for the Tesla community at large?
You might as well just say "Hey if you disagree with my you are an idiot"
Since you're putting words in my mouth - why not attribute that to me as well.
This is why communities which have an in person component are so much healthier than on-line only communities. Once people realize that they are going to have to talk to people in-person as opposed to just walls of non-conversational text, they change the way they talk. It helps avoid fat lips for starters.
You should have a hard look at the way you respond instead of threatening fat lips. And if you're going to threaten violence perhaps you should be the one taking a step back.
I think that in many cases it’s not about the company or the mission, but about the money. Seeing your TSLA portfolio lose value does not always bring out the best in people.
Going back above to my statement about Tesla fans - the ones that appear to be the most highly invested into $TSLA also appear to be the biggest fans as well. There's not necessarily a direct correlation in stock price and whining, though you aren't wrong, either - it probably increases the volume on both sides.
Musk is successful because he ignores the norms and expectations of those around him. That is who he is fundamentally. Thus we get "Pedo Guy" and Twitter Musk. But we also get Tesla and SpaceX.
You can't split the two.
This is such a cop-out and only makes excuses for bad behavior. "Oh that person is so smart an engineering genius, who cares if he <insert bad thing here>." Be better!
Here's a great analogy, though not nearly as polarizing as the current situation with Elon.
Linus Torvalds was quite well known for being an ******* when it came to code review, and rightfully so, pissed quite a few people off. People put up with it for a long time because he was damn good at what he did - orchestrating the development of the Linux kernel. But his behavior alienated quite a few people and a lot of really smart engineers left to do other work because of him. Finally, after 20+ years he wised up and you know what -
he finally realized the impact he had and apologized for being a jerk. Now, this probably took way too long, but it does show that people can change for the better of everyone involved.
Side note - I picked that Ars article on a whim (it's from 2018) and have to laugh at the comments because the
highest voted comment is:
As a side note, can someone forward this article to Elon Musk?
