It is remarkable the number of comments scarab92 has posted defending Musk. Shows a weird obsession with the man.

Yes, you're not the only one who's noticed. He's not the only one in the least -- sociopaths like that are a dime a dozen and there are many more in the pipeline -- but he's a perfect example of the kind of ignorant angry mentally ill hateful people who Musk attracts and inspires to worship and parrot and emulate himself (but without all the money to get away with it). Imagine how terrible it must be to be his wife or child! I bet he mistreats them just as badly as he behaves in public. They can't just ban him like dang can. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43124217 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43124217 dang 8 hours ago | parent | next [–] Could you please stop posting flamebait comments and please stop duplicating comments?

  That's why they send so many things overnight. Trolling all day and charging taxpayers OT to send out poorly written memos at night.
