Ars is already a anti-Elon echo chamber. I stopped paying my subscription after a moderator endorsed a commenter issuing a (almost certainly empty) death threat to Elon.

I think death threats are a bit too far.

But in that environment I have to applause Eric for sticking to the technical and not giving in to the angry mob think that surrounds him. A true tech journalist with integrity.

A mouth piece would be lauding Elon where uncalled for. I've never seen him do that, but feel free to prove me wrong!

Imo Eric Berger and Beth Mole are the only parts of ars worth a damn anymore. If they started their own blog I would be happy to pay a subscription to them

What would you do if you loved space as much as he does? There are no other heroes to cheer for
