Recalling numerous HN discussions on how X is losing users and engagement, perhaps this is not as big of a problem as one might think?
- qsdf38100 2y agoA problem for who? For X? For society? For Elon?
- jandrese 2y agoElon claims they are growing users and have excellent engagement numbers for what that is worth.

- dang 2y agoPlease don't post flame fodder to HN. This is such a repetitive, generic flamewar tangent and very much the kind of thing we're trying to avoid here. "Eschew flamebait. Avoid generic tangents." https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- sumeno 2y agoI honestly don't understand how this is flamebait? Elon Musk constantly lies about his companies, so it is relevant to the thread, especially the post I was responding to which is very likely a lie from Musk. Is pointing out the documented fact that Elon Musk constantly lies about his companies not allowed?
- mcphage 2y agoIt seemed like a good response to me.
- dang 2y agoIt came across as a list of pre-assembled talking points, which is the kind of thing that hardened warriors on whatever $topic do, and the kind of thing that curious conversationalists don't do. We want curious conversation here. I know it sounds strange to put it this way, but: that's more important than being right. A lot more important, in fact.

- mcphage 2y agoDocumented evidence where Elon says things that aren’t true seems to be a valid response to someone claiming something unlikely because Elon says it’s so.
