The blogger wasn't very polite, but these days everybody's a critic. You
expect that in business. IMO, the best response to a post like that is to
say "Thanks for your comments; guess we can't please everybody," and move
on.
To me, what Musk did suggests poor impulse control.
I'm with EVDL Admin David on this. You have to expect rude obnoxious
customers on occasion. There are always a few spoiled rich kids, out of
control celebrities, and just plain jerks out there.
But I expect professional behavior from companies, and good manners from
its individuals. As CEO, Musk sets the tone. His employees are likely to
follow his lead, so he should set a good example.
No matter what you may think of a customer personally, he should be
treated equally, fairly, and with respect; just like everyone else.
Otherwise, you are only stooping to his level. It reflects badly on *you*.

apart, to reduce friction so the machine works more smoothly.
