Bizarre to see this submission flagged. Not only is it directly related to technology, it is a fascinating discourse on what "work" is, at least in Elon Musk's incompetent vision.
That this is flagged is completely unsurprising. Musk's pathetic army of supplicants have reached the stage they hit with Trump where they are so incredibly embarrassed by his antics, yet think they've painted themselves in a corner supporting him, that they try to even suppress the whole topic. That to talk about them is some sort of derangement syndrome, lest people actually note how utterly insane, incompetent if not criminal their heroes are.
To be an Elon Musk apologists now betrays that someone is just a horrendous human being. Absolutely used toilet paper levels of humanity.
- JeremyNT 4y agoAnother post on the Twitter thread about this issue was also flagged [0] despite having over 300 points. The charitable view is that the flaggers are tired of reading more examples of Twitter's now well-known mismanagement (at this point, really, nobody should be surprised). HN is exclusively my source for tech news, and this flagging almost caused me to miss the story entirely. I don't necessarily want to see a million threads about Elon's incompetence either, but this feels newsworthy to me and it seems like it should rise above the general "Elon does something dumb" background noise.

- dang 4y agoFar from bizarre, it follows directly from the intended use of this site, and the users who flagged it were correct to do so. More at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35060935 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35060935.
