There seem to be a lot of people on HN, as anywhere, who lionize Elon Musk and praise seemingly everything he does -- like the post I replied to, which characterized his business with Twitter as among his "finest moments."

I'd personally suggest that his work to electrify the car market is very important. His moves to buy Twitter -- sincere or not -- seem like utter bullshit. Especially compared to the things he could do to significantly improve lives for millions if not billions of people. And all at a lower cost than buying a social media company.
