What is so unique about Elon that it causes this?
I've found that talking about Elon musk leads to some of the most destructive arguments I've ever seen online. Very few things lead to a more angry, nasty debate. Reason and logic just goes out the window on both sides. Even on wasteof, some of the best of the Internet, it's pretty bad (although it's nothing compared to what I've seen on other sites). Even if everyone agrees, it usually gets awful! Why is this?
I mean, most of that is fair but he actually does a lot of engineering. You can tell he has a deep understanding of the systems they develop from his interviews and such. Where he falls off is PR, as he's sure to just say whatever he wants. I'm kinda the same way, as you've seen from following this account.
