      He's being attacked for glory-hounding + poor-mouthing the successful rescue. His "help" was a virtue-signalling publicity stunt. Contra Ayn Rand, sometimes people hate you because you are a dick, not just b/c "great." Elon Musk is not Howard Roark, FFS.https://twitter.com/patrissimo/status/1017098712768602112 …

      People thought "The Incredibles" was exaggerated fiction. Yet @elonmusk is the real-world equivalent of a superhero, and this week he's being attacked for trying to help save children, by weak arguments that are obv. a thin wrapper over envious hate for the great. https://twitter.com/AndySwan/status/1016727913977319424 …

      Replying to @DDoSCapitol

      Virtue signaling is bad when it replaces actual virtue, and it is good when it demonstrates actual virtue for deserved positive response. The latter is virtue signaling harnessed for social gain (like rich people donating their time to save kids' lives), which is a good thing.

      The argument you're not engaging here is that the mini-sub is an example of the former type of virtue signaling rather than the latter. Note the combination of extravagant signalling and no actual benefit provided. There is harm here; Gresham's law applies to virtue signaling.

      Sure, if there was no chance of benefit, then it was a waste. I don't consider that proven, but if you see it that way, I agree it's wasteful virtue signaling. Still, your critique is not the same as many others' critiques, which seem to be envy-based.

      It's one statement by one person. It may be accurate, it may not. Here's his response:https://www.cnbc.com/2018/07/10/elon-musk-says-his-mini-submarine-can-be-used-for-other-things.html …
