I find this post crass. gph's reply to you was reasonable, and you made no counter. It's a pretty obviously a difference of opinion (and politics), and reasonable points were made in either direction. So now two months later, you paint a picture wherein you've been vindicated - using the proof that Elon Musk says that the deal Elon Musk made is good for everyone. What was he going to say; the ink's dry on our signatures now, Nevada, so I can admit I totally screwed you over and there's nothing you can do about it? Come on. Maybe you are right, maybe not, but no new information has come to light since the last discussion, and claiming victory based on a press release is intellectually dishonest.

As a general rule I don't participate in HN arguments, which is why I didn't reply to GPH. There is nothing I could have really added to the discussion and it would have simply devolved into a shouting match over which economic pet theories were HN's favorite. I am not really interested in shouting the loudest, it's a poor way to win arguments. I am replying to you, because there is something I can add. My explanation of why I avoid replies. Take it as you want.
