HN has its fair share of cynics. Just like in a stock market you need bulls and bears , you need people to peek behind the stories and tell whether there is substance or full of shit. It's up to us (the other readers) to be influenced or learn or tune out, isn't it? You don't buy a stock or sell one because someone yelled something, do you?
HN prefers nuance to personality cults. When Elon does something good, he tends to get praise here; when he’s in chaotic neutral mode he gets the eye-rolls he deserves.
