- Other than people laughing at Matt for being a bootlicker (Elon provided sources, nothing more or less)?

Yeah, it's completely normal for Twitter in same way high energy radiation is completely normal in Sun's corona. This sort of talk between people is however extremely abnormal and I doubt would happen that much in actual life.




But isn’t that a problem as old as at least internet? Some people tend to project their biases, insecurities and vitriol only as far as they won’t get hit in a face by a brick. What I find weird (and I agree with you) is that some people feel the urge or even need to do that in the first place. I mean, why would you hate somebody on internet if you could go for a walk or drink good wine with friends? That’s a whole another question though...
