Can you please not take HN threads into tedious flamewars? Of all the stupid loops we get into, Musk Mania—hate him, love him, boo, yay—is about the stupidest. It's worse than bickering about Spiderman.
Which makes it difficult to have the discussion about Tesla-as-Tesla. Admitting that I have an emotional reaction to an individual is the honest response.
My policy, in your position, would be to just ban Tesla posts. When a conversation topic becomes repetitively boring, I ban it, as there are plenty of places to discuss Tesla or Elon Musk or any other topic.
(sorry)
