Comment on He came with receipts

  Glad you asked. To be clear: I agree with your original comment.

  I had this great, long, message drafted in my mind while in sauna, but I discarded (forgot) that one when I got back to the computer.

  Let me elaborate my first reply. We have in the OP image the following actors: Musk and the challenger.

  I think that he should have avoided the interaction with musk, if he planned to convince Musk of something.

  • (#1) According to my previous knowledge about Musk’s interactions wherever in the world of Internet, I have come to the conclusion he is not the one to be convinced even with proof.
  • (#2) If someone can challenge him during the interaction, he will most likely (always) counteract with snarky responses or just ignore the challenger totally. Like seen in the OP image.
  • (#3) The challenger tried to convince him with proof.

  If he planned to educate the general public, his approach is totally fine, though.

  • (#4) Whilst the challenger commenced #3, he was really proofing the point/educating the public of the #1.

  On top of this, I like to think I managed to represent the Musk-like interaction in my previous reply; responding to your well built message with a snarky comment. Although, I think, I went too far with the dual interpretations.

    Thank you for the clarification. These points are indeed very similar to my thoughts (but I wouldn’t have been able to describe it so to the point. )

    I didn’t get that. So this part needed some explaining for me.

    Why is your reply being down-voted

    Maybe it is because I missed the sarcasm/ humour in your response. It’s hard to know if it isn’t written down as a response. :)
