From the post: > that being a jerk is not allowed This made me take it in a much more casual way, as they didn't load it with PR speak for sure. Gave much more credibility — like it wasn't written by lawyers.

    Except the author mentioned Elon in the third person, and I don't think he would intentionally misdirect like that.
