I wish I was surprised at the pettiness that seeing Twitter clearly having some internal issue - the willingness of people who consider themselves adults to drink it up as hate fuel against the bad man they think switched "teams".


Imagine the most incompetent and yet overconfident person you've ever worked with. Imagine them taking full credit for everything they've worked on despite making the people they work with miserable. For some reason people love them despite the fact they are an obvious fraud.

Now imagine the satisfaction you would get when they very publicly reveal that they aren't a super genius, just a huge rich asshole.

This is why people are enjoying the Musk Twitter saga.


I don’t believe that’s true. For a couple hundred people maybe.

Let’s be honest, Hate is a team sport now.


Imagine this level of obsession with a celebrity. Musk is not your bully at work.


It takes a high level of obsession for me to read an article about Musk on HN and say "lol"
