HN is divided on divisive issues. It's that simple.

People overgeneralize about that because of cognitive bias: the bad (what you don't like) stands out more than the good (what you agree with). What's negative (to you) is what you're more likely to notice: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu.... That's why people with the opposite tastes make the opposite generalizations.

For every comment like yours ("constantly attacks Tesla and Elon") there's one of these: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26506294 ("Musk fanboys and Tesla apologists").
