Probably because it's not news at all, it's 3 months old and nobody cares about the Person of the Year in Iceland. Instead it feels just like astroturfing to show how good this guy is (he seems to be, not denying that) VS how bad Musk is (he definitely is).
If this was shared the day the article had been published, would it have received any upvotes? No.
- runarberg 4y agoI think this was posted now because of the public firing yesterday, and perhaps OP didn’t find a link. As this was happening yesterday, I posted a link to the twitter thread, but it didn’t catch on. @dang Perhaps the link should change to a news story about the actual incident people are talking about
- sigmar 4y ago>If this was shared the day the article had been published, would it have received any upvotes? No. Right, it gained relevance because of current events. Lots of articles posted to HN are months old. I found the story interesting because I had no idea who this person was until yesterday, opting to pay 4.2 million usd in taxes is certainly unique, and he seems to be the 'main character' on twitter today because of his convo with Elon.
- insane_dreamer 4y agoIf no one cares, then no one needs to upvote it. Flagging is for inappropriate or irrelevant, and this is neither given the recent Elon Twitter spat HN thread.
