Comment on The Day Elon Musk Decided to Rip Servers Out of a Data Centerparent

tone of the article was to be critical

I mean... it's Musk. The shit-on-Musk phenomenon has transcended normality. Reddit has about six subreddits that do nothing apart from constantly shit on him. Twitter is infested with users/bots that do nothing apart from post the 'this mf paid for twitter' meme. Articles like this come out week after week after week. And yet, the site stays up and the products, by and large, work.

It's just one of those things that presumably makes sense to somebody but doesn't to me.

Normal journalism at work: one people pays, the other one writes.

I mean, that's the usual answer when it comes to yellow journalism but it still leaves the question of who's paying and why in particular him, because the Musk ecosystem is not one that's particularly hard to avoid; if you don't own a Tesla and don't use Starlink you're 99% of the way there.

It's just odd the amount of online hate the guy garners considering how narrow his reach really is.
