> I did read the article. You disagree with me, and my point apparently. The point I'm making about your point is that your point is a pointless point to point out because it has nothing to do with the article. I don't even disagree with your point. It's just that it's about as useful in this particular comment thread as trying to make a point about the development of tools during the paleolithic era, or whether vegan mayonnaise truly constitutes a mayonnaise. > The top comment in this thread reads: [...] How is this not a commentary on people wanting to have a job at spacex, but also wanting to be able to only work 40 hours a week? Fine, you're right, that person is also going on a tangent, but at least it acknowledges and adds to the article. Other points you could have made that would be an equally useful response to this article: * He shouldn't have shaved his armpits in the bathroom sink * He shouldn't have sniffed glue at his desk * He shouldn't have levitated office supplies with his mind as a prank "Of course, he didn't actually do any of these things, but I don't know why people are so upset that I'm suggesting these things are bad."

Look you're misrepresenting what I'm saying. 1) Yes I read the article 2) I made a comment on the general sentiment towards spacex which has been expressed both at large in the tech community, as well as in this thread. You disagree with me about something. Fine. Stop saying that I'm attacking this person when I'm not. If you don't like my comment, then downvote it. You don't have to lie about what I'm saying and work yourself up into a state of anger over it. There are a bunch of comments in this thread also attacking Elon Musk. Does the article claim that it was Elon who fired him? Are you getting angry at those people for implying that Elon has something to do with this? And insisting that they didn't read the article which clearly states that it wasn't Elon that fired him? Or maybe: there is a broader conversation happening in this thread both about Elon and his companies, and also about the overall sentiment workers have towards their employment at these companies. Again: you don't like what I said. That's fine, and you should argue with me if you want to, just don't lie about what I said.
