    What Elon did was terrible, but it wasn’t “for no reason”

    The dude attacked him in the media, and Elon is petty and vindictive.

    Was the harshness of Elon’s response representative of the attack? Absolutely not. But it wasn’t nothing.

      Yeah see there is a thing called disproportionate response.

      If you’ve got a guy with 100 million followers talking shit about someone else and making wild accusations against them against another person who has practically no following at all, then the response is far too powerful for the issue at hand.
