I haven't seen any fake Elon Musk articles on there. Can you show me some of them?

  I didn't say any existed. Re-read the comment.

    Huh? Are you completely and utterly mental? You were stating what you normally do when you read something saying that it is by Elon Musk on Medium. To claim that you have a normal behaviour for a given situation would usually presuppose that it is a situation you have previously encountered, more than once.

        Well this has been the most hilarious sub-thread I've read on HN recently. Thanks nailer and lotsofmangoes.

          It is all part of the service. And when I find out which service, I might even return it.

      The repeated situation is part of "Medium is famous for internet drama, and more recently parody articles about Medium and internet drama." nailer filled in the template to illustrate the response to the template, not to assert that they had encountered this specific variant before. The use of 'normally' implies having been in the exact situation, but it's possible to have a default response to a situation without having been in it. In context it is very easy to figure out nailer's meaning. It is ridiculous of you to fall back to 'completely and utterly mental'.
