alt Hacker NewsMy main takeaway is how HNers seem to decide what they want to believe, then work backwards from it to form a justification
You could have the exact same situation with a different company/CEO and the HN comments would be completely different

Is this a criticism?
This is just how people work.
Maybe, but I can say without a doubt my reaction would be the same regardless of who the CEO is or the company. I think the only thing that matters for a CEO is business acumen, not moral character (and I'm personally moral af, often to a fault it feels like).
Notably real business acumen precludes lawbreaking, but until there is concrete evidence, I won't simply rely on the court of public opinion.
