Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.

The following things are not grounds for murder:

Rules:

  1. Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
  2. Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
  3. No bigotry of any kind.
  4. Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
  5. If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
  6. Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

It certainly isn't needed to operate Wikipedia. The entire archive can fit on your phone.

This is the same guy who didn't understand why you couldn't just unplug servers and load them up in a truck like you're moving into a college dorm.

I just don't understand. This is supposed to be a tech genius who has experience with coding, computer hardware, business management, accounting and physics. How the fuck does he not understand basic logistics?

He doesnt have any of those qualifications, hes a con artist, and not a very good one.

He's the richest man on Earth, for a con man that qualifies as decent at least.

It's no feat for a rich guy to make money, cons or not. At a certain level of wealth society is designed so you essentially can't lose money (unless you directly transfer all of your assets to a Bernie Madoff type or something similar).

A real con man has to have some level of skill, but Elon never had to learn to do anything competently in his entire existence.

If the only requirement to making stupid levels of money was being good at something, there would be a lot more millionaires i ln the world, and elon would be dirt poor.
