So for over a week now Elon Musk's circle of friends have been going on and on insisting that Bob Lee's killer was obviously an unhoused individual and blaming the city for not jailing more people.

Now, it turns out that the guy who killed him was another tech exec who knew him, and they were originally in a car together.

@mmasnick Speculation about news stories is a mental disorder that needs to be stopped.

It’s one thing to speculate about wormholes or if King Arthur was real. It’s something else to take unknowns in every breaking news story and fill in your preferred enemy as the culprit and act like it’s proven. Even if you’re right, you don’t score points for guesses. If you don’t know something you don’t know it.

@biobrain @mmasnick I got the same approach to this as to people obsessed with unsolved mystery stories. The facts aren't available, the end, what's there to discuss?
