Where in the comment does it communicate it was a wish? Looks like an observation to me. Musk is ketamine fueled and missteping (or overstepping, depending on your view) around colleagues in an admin not afraid to commit violence against those who get in their way (per their own messaging).
Maybe you’re not looking closely? Didn’t read like a threat to me, only the obvious “which leopard is going to eat his face?” Certainly not anyone here.
Edit: You appear to be new. I recommend reading the guidelines. You have simply assumed from your own mental model.

Just flag it and don’t mention that you did so.

You seem to be familiar enough with HN to @dang; nothing you’re saying here is sensitive, so please don’t defend Musk with some alt account.
Finally some small pushback from Republicans against the Tech Support guy who runs with absurd numbers about 120yrs old without doing a sanity check first.

I figured violence was critical enough to warrant saying something quickly. That’s not “normal but inappropriate for HN” discourse.
It’s just inappropriate and dangerous.
Can Congress please get some oversight in place?
