    It’s incredibly rational to dunk on an idiot with a superiority complex.

    Why do you think getting a point across matters? When getting a point across to Elon Musk it isn’t worth it since he’s got no free will.

      Free will has nothing to do with the ability to be influenced, in fact you might even say the opposite is closer to reality. The more predictable something is, the easier it is to influence it. I’m sure you agree that your computer has no free will, and you can easily get it to do different things just by clicking the mouse.

      So what’s the rationale for dunking on an idiot? Do you believe that people shitting on Musk on Twitter will actually cause him to be more woke and compassionate toward others?

          Stupid comparison, we are not computers.

          Yes we are, just more complicated computers. As for deterrent, I don’t think it’s actually working that way. It just pushes him to dig his feet in more.
