- dang 5y agoProbably because the title was badly editorialized, which is against the site guidelines (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html).

- MBCook 5y agoThere’s a couple of guesses I can make. First of all a lot of people are really tired of Elon Musk and don’t wanna hear about him. In general that’s where I am. So they flagged it (I didn’t). Then there’s the hard-core Elon fans who don’t want to say anything bad about him. They probably flagged it too. Some people are probably tired of this specific topic. There’s been a lot of stories about Elon Musk and Twitter over the last two days or so, why do we need one more? Everyone’s going to say mostly the same things anyway. Elon is right. Elon is an idiot. He’ll save twitter. He’ll ruin it. I hate twitter. Blah blah blah. So they flag it. He provides a very unique and useful perspective, but it’s not clear from the headline. That probably doesn’t help. Sorry.
