So all the people who refuse to join Facebook and are angry at Zuckerberg have no right to be angry? I can't just be angry that someone is a powerful liar who ignores the rule of law and puts dangerous cars on the road with me and my loved ones?

It makes people in a democracy angry when someone who is unelected (and was born with a silver spoon in their mouth) becomes more powerful than the democracy. I wish I didn't have to care about Musk, but the various regulators who are supposed to stop him from pump-and-dump scams on Twitter and from releasing unsafe, shoddily-built cars are very slow to do anything to him.

> it's deeply unhealthy

Please spare the armchair analysis. It weakens your argument and is off-topic for HN. If you can't make your point without calling me mentally ill, you don't have a good point.

No, seriously. Healthy people are not "enraged" by things like these. I'm not trying to attack you, this isn't a criticism.

If you're enraged by some Tesla bullshit, what about all of the other significantly worse things in this world? It can't be nice to live like that, being constantly enraged and all.

Please take your fake concern elsewhere. I'm an internet stranger. You don't and shouldn't care about my well-being. Like I said, your personal attacks (that you are disguising as concern) show how weak your point is and are off-topic.

There are worse things in the world, but salience isn't directly proportional to harm for anyone, including me. Otherwise, we'd all likely be paralyzed with rage over human rights in Syria or China.

Also, people can be angry at more than one thing, and it's not a permanent or constant state.

But everyone has their pet issues that really bother them, and there are worse issues than Musk (who symbolizes US oligarchy) to care about.

I did not notice this thread continue. FDSGSG's strategy is bemusing. It doesn't help that them being so concerned about you being so concerned by their logic, is equally troubling and worrisome!

Oh no, I'm not concerned about smt88. I'm just making a friendly observation.

It's normal to be annoyed by something like this, but not to be put into a rage.

Again: make some kind of argument that isn't speculating on my well-being. Your comments thus far on this topic are substance-free. You have literally zero knowledge of my health level, and you look like a troll for repeatedly bringing it up.

It's not normal to be sent into a rage by things like these. It would be normal to be annoyed, upset, frustrated. I'm still not concern trolling, just questioning your choice of words.

"Enraged" implies extreme uncontrollable anger, being sent into a rage, you think of something like The Big Lebowski car smashing scene https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0kfe5tkdD4

There are definitely situations where it's normal for someone to become enraged, but they're few and far between.

Had you actually bought a Tesla and felt seriously fucked over by your dealer, such uncontrollable anger might actually be a normal reaction. But when you're just a third party considering that others might get screwed like that, it would certainly be an overreaction.

E: I should apologize, I think my comments have been too easy to misinterpret. I originally intended to make a silly joke to poke fun at your misuse of one of the strongest words we have to express anger in the English language, but it just came across as mean instead of funny.

I'm sorry.
