The Click-Bait Headline Thread
To be clear, I don't have a firm position on whether or not Elon made a Nazi salute, and in fact I think the "did he or didn't he" kind of misses the forest for the trees, in some cases intentionally so.
This is a guy who, even before his latest corrupt and criminal behavior in DC, has done a lot of awful things (including associating with a lot of white supremacists and nationalists, FWIW). So whether or not his gesture was a Nazi salute or the tick of a neuroatypical oddball is, for me at least, beside the point. Dude is a lying, narcissistic, dangerous moron regardless.

Reading the older biography, or even just seeing him in various interviews, I don't think that he was always like this. What's weird is that he was bullied as a child, and now he's sucking the teat of one and assisting in the bullying. If you've ever watched the walk-arounds he's done with the Everyday Astronaut guy, Musk is a bona fide engineer. How he went from Tony Stark to Lex Luthor is beyond me.

Part of the human condition is that power corrupts. That's just the deal. When you are surrounded by people who tell you how awesome you are all of the time, it is easy to start believing they are correct.
This article from Channel 5 in Cleveland about a lift stop/walk down on Siren's Curse is pretty cringey.
With apologies for resuscitating this thread, this one from People gets extra points for a terrible headline, and making national news out of a minimal incident, and legal dumbness.

1) The headline makes it sound like she plunged a hundred feet. She fell on the loading platform.
2) There is no way any incident involving a $50,000 suit should be national news for anything except a profile of ambulance-chasing lawyers.
The lawsuit names Great America, LLC, which does business as Six Flags Great America, as the defendant. The park is accused of one count of negligence and one count of Res Ipsa Loquitor — an inference of negligence.
Res Ipsa Loquitor is not a separate cause of action (or "count"), it's a legal argument claiming her injury is proof of negligence. Which is grasping at straws; anytime I trip on a coaster platform it proves the park was negligent, never mind that I was wearing clown-shoe sized flip-flops?
