I am a big @ElonMusk /Tesla skeptic, but there is something deeply rotten about that DailyBeast article attacking him because of *rude random Twitter followers of his*, as if he's responsible for them. It's an article that shouldn't be published (or praised) on a reputable site.

There are some people on Twitter who self-consciously marshal their followings to go out and attack others (the platonic example was Milo, but the Chapo guys also do this with a wink & a nod). Show me some evidence that Musk is like that, and maybe you have a newsworthy story.

But if not, all you are saying is: "there are Wrong People out there who like you and tweet insultingly on your behalf." And the implied prescription from the author is "therefore you cannot publicly disagree with me." That's a cynical, cowardly attempt to forge a muzzle.

Or it is simply an attempt to do her job, which is to cultivate an audience that clicks on her links to pay the bills. I mean, she is succeeding. And incidentally making Elon Musk’s point.

She apparently blocks lots of people of color who disagree with her takes. She's a total hack, doesn't actually care about social justice.

This is not a good take. In a direct convo with Elon she accuses him of sending a car ad to space instead of children‘s science experiments. She really believes in social justice, and hates Musk and his followers for not doing so in her eyes.

I also do not agree with her position. That is irrelevant. The goal is not to figure out which of the many players in the game are the good guys (ie your team) but how the game works, and who is playing what move.

You sound like someone who I need to block because you don’t have the ability to participate in a respectful conversation.
