Sorry to be a bit off topic but I down voted this article not because it's not worthy of reading but because I think the idea of giving (no less) Australian islands to Musk is despicable. Not land that she owns but land that belongs to the nation.
Is there some sort of protocol about what to do when you like that someone put up the article but you disagree with the headline? I don't know if other people may have the same quandary.
I feel like you should upvote it to give it visibility, then speak your mind in the comments. Downvoting should be for trolls posts and such or as reddit says where you don't think the article should see the light of day
Thank you. That makes a lot of sense.
