This sentence: > Maybe now that people are comically angry at musk they at least act like they care. Doesn’t just imply, but within its context directly states that people are mad at Elon for reasons unrelated to Tesla software (hence the “now”). The rule is “strongest possible interpretation” not “invent a much less plausible but much more generous interpretation”. If you interpret that rule the way you’re suggesting it could be rewritten as “Trolls and bad faith posters only exist in your head, not on the internet”
