    my problem is people who chastise others over not acting sooner.

    yeah, sure, ensuring Musk never got to where he is would have been great. Had we known what he was going to do now.

    hindsight is a wonderful thing, but serves no other purpose in this case but to distract and perpetuate the notion that we should have acted sooner on information we didn’t have until now.

    Musk is a fascist, but did ANYONE believe he was capable of doing the things he’s doing now, then?

    if anyone says yes, they’re lying.

      All they said was that they wish people had listened. Thats it. The only one who’s mentioned action is you.

      Yes, because he’s always been a billionaire with no morals, he’s always treated people like shit and he’s always put money ahead of everything, even his own family members. Someone who can do those things is capable of anything.

      if anyone says yes, they’re lying.

      lol.

      From my point of view, the OP’s comments were broadly expressing a vibe that Musk’s popularity lasted too long; but I did not see the post as chastising anyone. Your post, on the other hand, was a direct attack. I don’t think that was helpful in any way.

      I can at least now understand why you didn’t like the OP’s comment, but I still think what you said was out of order.
