"In no way I believe the ends justify the means. I also did not defend Elon in this thread. You are reading your own bias into my comments. "

If you really really believe this, you need to take a long hard look at yourself and your comments again.

You literally defended him, for example:

"Every CEO is a salesman. Anyone who believes every word of a salesman is a fool. I'd not paint it as Trump-style, bona fide lying. It's just inflating promises, or being overly optimistic. Par for the course."

As for the rest:

Numerous people have tried to help you understand in this thread, and your response has not really been to try to understand their perspective, but instead tell them why they are wrong, and how it must be everyone else.

If you really want to understand, people have tried to help as best they can.

Maybe, rather than immediately react, take a while and process it?
