It's really unfortunate the discursion the article took into ripping into Musk at a personal level- it changed the tenor from professional and thoughtful into a partisan attack.

Its unfortunate at a larger level that the commentariat can't help but injecting their bias directly into things like this, when the facts of the story can tell you everything you need to know about the motivations of the people involved. Those facts are /weakened/ sitting alongside vituperative editorializing.
