It's annoying, but I can see why it was flagged. The thread isn't going to be very interesting. It'll just be a bunch of people being rude about Musk (justifiably) and a bunch of people excusing his behavior.
- lapcat 4y ago> The thread isn't going to be very interesting. I was going to reply and say that it's important for people to see the tweets anyway, but then I realized that the people most in need of seeing the tweets are the ones who did see them and flagged this submission. I wonder if there are any "undecideds" remaining, or if everyone here has already sorted into pro-Musk/anti-Musk groups? I heard some people started to change their minds about Trump after he mocked a disabled reporter, so I don't know.
- runarberg 4y agoThis is about a person working in tech that started a successful startup company, and was fired from another tech company which acquired the former. The firing is really public, and of questionable morality (perhaps even questionable legality), where the CEO of the bigger company is trying to publicly humiliate his worker. This is indeed very interesting to HN (you can see that by the number of upvotes and comments). It touches on what we can expect when working in tech, and how tech billionaires treat their workers. The low value comments about Elon being rude or justifying his behavior will be voted down as they are less interesting than the actual matter at hand.
- Veen 4y agoThey won't be voted down though. I made two rude comments about Musk in this thread and they got almost 60 upvotes between them.
