Would you please stop posting unsubstantive and/or flamebait comments to HN? We've had to ask you this more than once before. It's not what this site is for, and it destroys what it is for.

Perhaps you don't owe $celebrity better, but you owe this community better if you're participating in it. If you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and post in the intended spirit, we'd appreciate it.

Someone has already evidently asked "I'll bite, How so?" and I gave them the link to the SEC settlement: [0] of the fraud charges which satisfies and effectively substantiates the claim a day before you commented.

Even when the parent commenter mentioned about Trevor saying "I can out Elon, Elon" I only said that he is right as Elon Musk is also a fraudster with the fraud charges he paid for after violating securities laws which is 100% true.

So hardly flamebait, and 'unsubstantive'.

Your GP comment was denunciatory and information-free. That makes for unsubstantive flamebait, especially when the topic is a sensational one.
