I would berate this author for making an article with such a hamfisted premise, but as a young white male, I would then be fueling her confirmation bias.
Best to ignore it, along with anyone else trying to make #MuskBros a thing.

What is there to berate? Should rape threats not matter? Or death threats?
Expect The Daily Beast to frame Elon Musk as some boogeyman Trumpian champion of "young white males" who is working for the forces of misogyny, according to their twisted logic.
With this precedent, now any white males who wish to defend Elon from identity politik hit-pieces are silenced with a simple #MuskBros hashtag, as is The Daily Beast's modus operandi.[0]
Threats do matter, but channeling public blame for these onto one person is unwise if that person isn't directly linked to them.
