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.
