The punchline is that everyone here thought being called "thunderf00t" was a compliment, even though I meant it as an example of someone who is consistently proven wrong at every turn for casting shade on Musk's tech ambitions. It seems HN's original techno-optimist hacker ethos is dead in the grave.
Or is the REAL punchline the fact that Musk has optimised his entire empire to tap into the hacker ethos/ideals as the world's biggest pump n dump scheme? He seems to just do things that have the biggest wow factor because growth stocks need to keep growing otherwise there is no point in owning them.
