I’m not sure not having sympathy for somebody committing idiotic actions is the same thing as treating somebody like shit.

The point was that we should separate "he had this coming" (true) from "he deserved this" (false).

Are we talking about another comment thread? Because gp didn't say he deserved it: “leopards eating faces” is a statement about predictable outcomes, not merit.

(Although worth noting that “had it coming” has strong implications of what comes being deserved, but I don't think that was what you intended)

If someone is willing to use Musk products, then I'd say they deserve it.

I understand if someone owned a Tesla from before and is unable to sell it and get something else (in which case they should throw one of the variations of anti-Elon sticker I have seen on there).

What I said is not equivalent to either of those. I wouldn’t say anybody “had this coming” because that is pretty callous. But I would say my sympathy is not endless and is reserved for those who are not victims of their own footguns.

I meant "treated like shit by Grok" and I agree with Diogenesian: you can both believe that somebody did something dumb and also believe that what happened to them is fucked up and that being dumb doesn't mean you deserve to get mistreated.
