That's a horrible generalization of conservatives.
- dmode 10y agoHa ! When did I generalize conservatives ? I said a couple of my conservative friends have this line of thought aligned with the comments. I was also just commenting on WSJ's motivation and not conservatives in general. Obviously not all conservatives are anti-Musk. I am not even sure that majority are. But there is no denying that there is a strain of conservatives who have strong anti-Musk sentiments.

- Diederich 10y agoThis is what I see: > I wonder why WSJ and some conservatives set a target on Elon

- dmode 10y agoApologize, didn't mean to come across that way. Edited comment slightly to reflect that
- hyperliner 10y agoLet's replace CONSERVATIVES by WHITES in your statement. You tell me if you generalized. "WSJ has a target on Elon Musk's back. Every week they post something negative about him or his companies. I have a couple of WHITE friends who have an irrational hatred for Elon. They rail how everything Elon Musk does is a "scam". The WSJ comments are a reflection of that mindset. More broadly, I wonder why WSJ and some WHITES set a target on Elon. There are literally a gazillion subsidies, tax credits, offshore accounting going around. For example, Hollywood shoots their movies wherever they get tax credits. Texas has attracted large back office operations using tax credits. Data center locations are chosen based upon which state government throws in the most benefits. It seems odd that they would spent so much energy on Musk, whose subsidies are probably a rounding error. It makes me wonder if there are bigger things at stake. Are the WSJ overlords really scared that he is making material changes to energy and transportation that could hurt them ?"
- meepmorp 10y agoIs conservative a race now? Or white a political position?
- hyperliner 10y agoNo, they are just two HUGE groups of people that cannot possibly be, in mass, against Elon Musk.
