Where does that "thin skinned toddler" thing come from? If the Washington Post article is any indication, Musk's likely motive isn't a personal offense. It's that the New York Times published what he called apologia for genocide. Is he a thin skinned toddler for trying to reduce readership in a publication that puts people's lives at risk?

And I don't assume everyone is on a side, but I'm going to assume you are. Why? Because the irrational partisans I've seen on the internet tend to impute the basest and most repugnant motives possible into the actions of those they hate I think we've all seen quite a lot of it, be it "They like firearms because they have small reproductive organs." or "They support immigration because they hate the local working class." All borne out from a childish desire to live in a world of shining heroes and cackling villains.

Now, maybe your toddler comment is borne out of a careful analysis of Musk's psychological state, and if that's so you have my apologies.
