Debatable but likely not insane: there MAY be an issue with SpaceX' hiring

If you are going to criticize someone for doing something that NO ONE ELSE IS OR HAS EVEN TRIED DOING the least you could do is formulate an argument with coherence.... What gets me every time is your ending... " and the reasons are obvious." Yet you completely fail to produce ANY. NOT. A. SINGLE. ONE.

This is what intellectuals call Ipse Dixit.

Ipse dixit (Latin for "he said it himself") is an assertion without proof, or a dogmatic expression of opinion.

Please stop posting in this style. This is not what HN is for and it destroys what it is for. Many of your comments break the guidelines, notably these ones:

Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes.

Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.

When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. "That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3."

Please don't fulminate. Please don't sneer...

Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples curiosity.

Please don't use uppercase for emphasis. Instead, put *asterisks* around it and it will get italicized.

We eventually have to ban accounts that keep posting like this, so please take a moment to read the guidelines and make an effort to observe them if you want to keep participating here.
