The amount of Elon Musk hate I see online is crazy. It seems like people are hellbent on hating this guy. When he announced that Tesla could help Puerto Rico, the number of snarky and demeaning comments was huge. Now, so quickly, they've actually accomplished something good. I wonder if any of those snarky people, most of which probably did nothing to help Puerto Rico, will care.

All I can say is I saw this headline and breathed a sigh of relief. I haven't heard anything good coming out of PR at all.

For what it's worth, while I like the idea of solar power as the revival of PR's power grid, I would not be breathing such a sigh of relief if the feds had helicoptered in with the kind of energy they reserve for invading countries and restored power and set up relief for villages far from the port.

It's called envy. They think they are saying something about Elon Musk but in reality they are telling what kind of monsters they themselves are.

In Dutch we have an expression: The inn keeper is as the inn keeper trusts his guests. As in: good people assume good intentions. Bad people assume bad intentions. Those who trust are trustworthy, those who do not are not.
