I would call strong opposition to Musk a democratic responsibility, not a derangement. We are talking about a guy with a fondness for the far right and throwing Nazi salutes, and whose destruction of USAID had, by November 2025, resulted in “hundreds of thousands of deaths”. [1] Those, of course, are just a couple of examples.

If strong opposition to that kind of evil makes me deranged, count me in.

Sure, but that is not a defence against the claim that his journalistic coverage is biased.

I strongly oppose the constant slander and the litany of lies partisan commenters post about Musk.

You don't get to throw out "fondness for throwing Nazi salutes" slander, based on an hoax immediately debunked at the time, and then act like you're doing democracy a favor. Try to stick to the facts.

Regarding the journalist discussed here, I had a look at his X account, and he posted no less than 20 posts attacking Tesla and Musk in just the last day. It's virtually all he posts, and it indeed appears deranged. The flagged comment was fair enough.

Did you even read the article you sent? It’s all based on estimates.

It is consensus seeking derangement at best
