Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.

The following things are not grounds for murder:

Rules:

  1. Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
  2. Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
  3. No bigotry of any kind.
  4. Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
  5. If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
  6. Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

This truly one of the stupidest things a tech CEO has ever said.

Not stupid, just misleading stupid people. As the owner of one of the most popular websites on the internet, and the guy who killed third party APIs, there's no way he doesn't know what it costs to process millions of queries/day.

This implies he has learned lessons from his past mistakes - he has not. The odds are better on Must thinking the people who executed his perfect demands did those things wrong.

Yep. It didn't come across as stupidity (not saying Musk isn't stupid), but as someone blatantly borrowing from the Trump playbook.
