"I want outrage" is neither interesting nor stimulating, and there are already plenty of sites to go to for that. There's no need to turn HN into another one.

The impulsive, child like, revengeful, behavior of the Tesla CEO, is highly relevant for the general audience below. Very likely to be a non negligible part of this site readers:

- VCs

- Tesla Shareholders

- Tesla Owners

- Twitter Employees

- SpaceX Employees

- General analysts of what really makes for the success of Tech Companies. The presence of the CEO or it's thankful leave of absence at the controls.

- General admirers of human imperfections

- Promoters of AI has a better deserving custodian of the Planet

- Remote bored Aliens, with a lifespan of 50,000 years, and a curated HN feed, laughing their 4 mouths off out of our primitive illogical egos.

Reddit or 9gag is a better place for you.
