So all the constant anti-Tesla articles blaming Musk personally on here are fine, but these guys are somehow above being named despite their names being public record? Why is this different?

You think an article criticizing a company and its executives is the same thing as inciting an online rage mob (along with a posse for some unnamed Twitter evildoer) on a message board? Because they're pretty different.

  Wasn't the original commentor criticizing, exactly, an (acquired) company and its executives?

    No.

Personal attacks on anyone aren't fine on HN, but when there's an entire industry of articles about them it gets a lot harder to enforce the rule.

  I haven't seen a single anti-Musk personal attack deleted or addressed, yet I saw this. A lot harder != impossible.

You are right, but Tesla itself pushes Musk as the face of the company.
