Why do people downvote others who are just asking questions? I’ll never understand the mindset. You ask an honest and genuine question and people just downvote it for no reason. I don’t get it.
Because disingenuously asking loaded questions (not saying this is one) has become a favorite tactic of conservatives and other trolls. It’s so common now that people automatically assume the questioner is acting in bad faith.
I’m sure it’s a bunch of things, but people are so used to rushing to conclusions without giving it some real thought, myself included, that when someone doesn’t immediately take a side…well, they must be taking the opposite side as me.
As a Brit, we just had riots due to a rightwing posh dickhead “just asking questions”. Look for “Farage riots”. (Something Elon made worse)
Some questions aren’t questions but dog whistles and conspiracy theories.
Of course owning stock in one Elon company compromises you judging another Elon company. You don’t even have to look hard to see how he leverages one for another. Or could if he hadn’t already. Not seeing it is done willfully.
