Are you asking for context and nuance?

What are you, a free thinker? Why not just joint he "Elon man bad" chorus?

Consider providing some nuance and context instead.

Nuance and context like "Elon is bad, of course he's bad" and "of course this is hypocrisy and nothing more"...because that's what we've gotten so far. As usual, there are two sides to every story unless your name is Elon, Trump, or other $UNPOPULAR_FIGURE

Is this your nuance?

That's a Reddit level comment if I've ever see one

I'm reminded of a quote from a journalist

"Elon Musk fans were bullied in high school, and the bullies were right"

Yeah, god forbid somebody asks for more nuance. What is this, Reddit? We're mature here, we do quality comments like "Elon Musk has the emotional stability of a teenager hitting puberty", "Do not fall into the trap of anthropomorphizing Elon Musk", and so on (actual comments on this thread).

I do not respect Elon enough to give him the benefit of the doubt

What a unique and nuanced take...

Unfortunately we do not live in a world where in order to criticise someone we must analyze the morality of their entire life. This isn't "The Good Place"

I can say Elon is a shit person because that is my opinion. I am entitled to that opinion as much as you are entitled to simp for him
