The Cult of Elon Musk

Posted up a missive on Friday April 22nd at SA, Tesla: The Prestige?

In the comments section the Teslarians rained down on my head.  Like Freddie Blassie, I swatted em like flys, and discovered they have a anthem even...

In denial, which ain't a river, one guy just kept repeating over and over that I had claimed they were losing a barrel of money on each car, when I clearly had not, and all he had to do was stop and actually read what I had wrote. 

He was so mentally poor, he could not pay attention, so I gave him a smack down: "An excessively steady diet of parrot food and ritalin are obviously not helping." SA thought police deemed it a personal attack and deleted it. All I can say is, what a bunch of ADD, sound byte and elevator version afflicted cultists, on par with PO crowd.

The Tesla cult is in denial of the facts, what else would one expect from such rabid acolytes. Probably one and the same as the peak oil theorists, birds of a feather you know.

These cultists become apoplectic when one dare question their gospel intoning the sanctity of King Musk.  After a mass of idiotic vitriol, I finally posted this for their mass consumption...

Cognitive biases can make one allergic to facts at variance with one's deeply held beliefs. From our experience, belief, hope and irrational blind faith are the commodities or currency of houses of worship and cults.

Cultists tend to keep chanting or repeating, over and over, a mantra which is based in their own belief system. That faith based mantra may seem perfectly clear to the cultist, and yet be quite illogical to all others as it is clearly not fact based.

Seeing the light from either side,  there is not enough time in the day to waste,  going in circles with irrational cultists.  We know Jonestown did not end well, the lesson, don't blindly follow and don't drink the kool-aid.

This is not an argument, as anyone who is not blinded by the fog of bias can see, read and understand, both Montana Skeptic and I have empirically proven our points beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Therefore, this discussion merits no further effort on my part as its continuance would constitute beating a dead horse in a circle.  So I bid you adieu, wish you luck, and shall leave you where you are. Good day.
