Yeah more ad hominem attacks. That's a really good way to convince someone you're correct, getting angry and lashing out for the crime of asking questions and trying to foster an open discussion.

For the record, I detest Elon Musk.

Ah the ol "I'm just asking questions" defense.

Look, you're acting under the impression that I'm trying to convince you of something when I know you're not capable of having your opinion changed because you're sure you're right. The Internet is full of people like you. You read an article somewhere or mirror others like you who talk about the proper ways to argue, again with the goal of defending your awful takes instead of entertaining learning new info, but the truth is you just like to argue.

Of course I think my current opinions are correct, I wouldn't hold them otherwise. That doesn't mean I'm incapable of changing my mind through persuasive argument. Aren't you also trying to defend your worldview? It's an excellent tactic for trying to refine to yourself what you actually believe putting your views out there for public scrutiny.
