Oh, come on, Sam. What you were getting mocked for was not the mere speculation that Musk’s approach might possibly be justified in such-and-such a hypothetical way. It was all your defensive doubling-down bullshit about how you would have eagerly staked your hypothetical professional future, or encouraged your hypothetical coder son to stake his professional future, on the chance of impressing Musk. Like this.
As I pointed out in that thread, you keep flipflopping between cautious caveats that nobody can be absolutely sure what’s going on or what’s going to happen, and bizarre hypotheticals expressing a degree of confidence in Musk that your own caveats don’t justify.
That’s why you get piled on and mocked, because rhetoric like your hypothetical encouragement to your hypothetical tech-professional son to try to “hitch his wagon” to Musk and “impress a billionaire” is so comically at odds with your claims to be merely “speculating” about how Musk’s strategies might possibly prove successful.
