Do you really think people are using alt accounts (a pain to get enough karma to allow downvoting on here) or could it just be they disagree with you making claims that aren't in the article?

It doesn't say anything about Musk's rationale.

Even aside from making unsubstantiated claims, the "Did you RTFA?" line would be enough for a downvote from me.

Ok I can't argue that. It can be warranted when someone doesn't do the reading, however.
