I haven't seen others claim he's stupid (sorry, I don't watch the news except here, and that kind of news doesn't cut it here) Additionally, I don't think it's following the HN guidelines by discouraging others to share their unique viewpoints. Remember, the site is for _curious_ discussion! |

I often use "you" when I should probably say "one", as in:
"I don't think it's great to hate him because he's rich and he bought Twitter and one wants to predict his failure."
Also, that sentence says "if." I didn't say you predicted anything or called anyone stupid, and I didn't discourage your viewpoint--my point rather was that your small group was not a counterpoint in this thread about Hacker News. I'm sorry you felt singled out.
Additionally you can see people all throughout this very thread calling Elon Musk stupid, so I don't feel the need to source the one claim I did make.
