"But I respectfully submit there’s a chance that, like his entire $44 billion bet on Twitter, those were just Musk utterly out of his depth."

Completely unbearable.

The current Two Minutes Hate* against Elon Musk is frustrating.

Those of us who don’t want to be part of this politically-motivated nastiness know we will be ostracised, so we avoid speaking out against it.

And so the hateful groupthink persists.

Come on. Let’s rise above this rabble rousing. HN is better than this.

Let’s elevate the discussion beyond ad-hominems about this man. He is doing more for the long-term future of humanity than most of us, and our views on his personality really aren’t worth this constant examination.

"It's okay that Elon is a shit human and we should excuse all of his faults because he makes cool rockets!"

No thanks.

How about we also rise above comments like:

> The current Two Minutes Hate* against Elon Musk is frustrating.

> Those of us who don’t want to be part of this politically-motivated nastiness know we will be ostracised, so we avoid speaking out against it.

> And so the hateful groupthink persists.
