Yes, this title was badly editorialized. Submitters: please don't do that! The site guidelines include "Please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize."

    if this was your source, I'd call it justified, myself https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1727392569238159491 https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1727392569238159491

    It's ok, now you know! Probably the thing to do would have been to post the tweet and use it for the title, and then link to the other site from the comments. Looks like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38383099 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38383099 did that, so we'll move the comments there.

Its a direct quote from tweet that Elon Musk just posted linking the page.

  HN's title rules kind of imply 'don't take titles from Elon Musk's tweets' as well.

    It's fine if that's the submitted URL of course.
    - pvg 3y ago
      It would still have been a poor title with a long debate over the meaning of 'open source'.

    Not really. It dropped a critical word from the tweet.

  Looks like the tweet actually says: > All design & engineering of the original @Tesla Roadster is now fully open source. > Whatever we have, you now have. > https://service.tesla.com/roadster https://service.tesla.com/roadster That still feels inaccurate though. There’s lots of repair info on that page but I can’t imagine they don’t have e.g. some sort of CAD files for the body of the car.

    The body is Lotus property I’d imagine.

  False. His quote has the word “original” in it.
