Usually this is too vacuous of a criterion for comments on any other topic on HN. For some reason any post on Twitter has pages and pages of “yikes” “derp”, people gossiping about “Elon” like he’s their wayward cousin. Pathetic.
- ggm 3y agoSo, what's your take? Give us the vibe, the feel of it. What's the upside plan here?
- jmeister 3y agoThis is too insignificant for a “take”. It doesn’t change anything substantial for me or most existing Twitter users.

- ryandvm 3y agoHe is our wayward cousin. Elon is a cautionary tale about what can happen when a slightly clever, asocial, ADHD, internet troll finds himself with more money than God. He is the archetypal HN user gone off the deep end. This is like a visit from the Ghost of Christmas Future for most of us.
- berkes 3y agoI'm afraid I see many similarities with that older wayward cousin, John McAfee. I truly hope Musk finds help, or finds that his coffers are harder to deplete than Johns, but it's not looking good. "we", the hacker-crowd, indeed have some lessons to learn here.
