You can't post like this here, regardless of who you're attacking. Please see https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. You may not feel that you owe $UnhingedPatheticIgnorantFuck better, but you owe this community better if you're participating in it.

Since this isn't just a matter of one topic—that is, since you've been breaking the rules badly in other contexts as well (e.g. attacking other users - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33938700), I've banned this account. Please don't create accounts to break HN's rules with—it will eventually get your main account banned as well.

Also, using multiple accounts to upvote yourself is a bannable abuse in its own right, so please don't do that*.

Since someone is now going to respond with "you're just protecting $BillionaireCeo" I suppose I need to add: no, there is plenty of criticism getting posted, as anyone who looks at any thread on the topic can see. This is about protecting HN. The rules don't stop applying just because a bunch of people are mad. Actually, these are the situations in which they matter most.

* Edit: actually, the multiple-account manipulation you've been doing is egregious, so I've banned a bunch of your accounts. Please don't do that again. If you don't want to be banned, you're welcome to email hn@ycombinator.com and give us reason to believe that you'll follow the rules in the future.

I think this is the best post of it's kind I've read in 30 years including usenet and irc.

"unhinged pathetic ignorant fuck" doesn't seem accurate, nor fit for a comment on HN, no matter how much you may dislike him or think his actions are deplorable.

Seems 100% accurate and fit for the situation to me.

You don't tank a company and your reputation like this if you're not unhinged.

You don't ban people linking to a competitor if you're not pathetic.

You don't fire the entire engineering team only to roll out a half baked checkmark, only to have to remove it a couple weeks later if you're not ignorant.

Anyone that treats other people, and especially their own coworkers, with as much contempt and cruelty as Elon has is absolutely a fuck.

Unhinged pathetic ignorant fuck it is.

No one is saying that you guys owe $BillionaireCeo better, but you (all of you) owe this community better if you're participating in it.

Please read the rules and stick to them: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. They've been largely the same for many years.

Let's be clinical:

"unhinged": Elon Musk's actions for the past few months have been intensely erratic. He clearly meets the definition of "unhinged".

"pathetic": can either be interpreted as "pitiable" or "inadequate/disappointing". Watching his descent into madness is certainly capable of eliciting pity. As for the second definition, everyone who is now being disabused of their formerly high opinion of him could call him inadequate or disappointing.

"ignorant": this is the easiest one, Elon Musk has repeatedly (some might say incessantly) expressed beliefs that belie a complete lack of understanding of the topics at hand (made all the more frustrating by his extreme arrogance and overconfidence). Whether he is doing it deliberately for attention or whether he is truly as gormless as he appears to be, this description is accurate.

"fuck": sadly, this is one of the most flexible words in the English language, so it will be difficult to ascertain its descriptive veracity.

He's also tanking Twitter's value. The people he's booting bring people to Twitter.
