Elon vs Twitter update: Elon helped America win , Tesla stock through the roof

Is this the mind-reading you were talking about?

 

I don't see any mind-reading here, just one author's opinion

 

So when is it having an opinion on what someone thinks vs mindreading?

Need a ruling.

 

I don't see this author specifying an individual whose mind is being read. Do you? Mind reading implies a specific mind being read. You are trying to twist my words into a comment applying to this author generalizing about all Libs on the left. Big difference.

 

unless you're saying the Left has a libby unimind . . . in which case I pretty much agree with you.

 

He's trying to explain why the left hates Musk. I didn't even know the left hates Musk, so I was curious how he knew what the left thinks. You were talking about all the mindreading going on before, so I just thought you were posting example, that's all.

 

seemed to be me folks in this thread were claiming to read Musk's mind . . . which is different than trying to generalize about the thoughts, attitudes, or beliefs of a population-level group of people

 

Oh I didn't see anyone claim to read Musk's mind but I think I follow you: you can't read an individual's mind, but you can read the collective minds of a group of people you don't like and want to denigrate?

 

one can generalize about a population. That is not reading their "collective minds" . . . don't be silly.

 

@Os Trigonum it always looks to me like you are talking to yourself. I don't even have to click on "Show ignored content" to know who is making you waste your time...

 

lol. the funny part is that @Sweet Lou 4 2 really is one of the better posters here. you should maybe give him another chance

 

It's pretty silly to say the left hates Elon Musk, don' you think?

 

I appreciate that and glad you realize I'm not just trying to give you a hard time. I enjoy our back and forth as I respect your views and thinking process.

 

not these days it isn't. He went from being Elon Musk, Superhero-Who-Invented-Tesla™ to Republican Trump-Wannabe-the-Equal-of-Satan™ in like two month's time

 

I think you have the same kind of fun with these conversations that I try to have. And that's not even reading your mind, that's just an inference on my part.

 

I admit there are some people who seem to have issues with him. I don't get why he was a target for the billionaires tax. But I don't think people "hated" him the way they hated DJT at least.

There are things I don't like about Musk, I think he should own up to some of his poor labor practices and issues at his plants. I don't think he is a awful human being, but I don't think he is a hero. I think he's just a really talented entrepreneur who has had incredible success. But it's clear that has his fame has grown, he's taking some criticism, and he hasn't handled that criticism with much grace.

 

I honestly don't follow him that closely. When I need Elon news, I rely on @tinman

 

Even though we disagree a lot I think we do have similar styles and honestly I've learned a lot from you in how you debate things. It would be fun to have a beer someday.

 

if you're ever in upstate NY let me know

 

For sure!
