Because the musk simps are out in force.

  Could you please stop posting flamebait and/or unsubstantive comments? We're trying for something else here. Even when the topic is this flammable, such a comment stands out as low-value, and is the kind of thing we rate-limit accounts for. If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.

    Will you be doing anything to handle the brigading that is happening?

      Internet users are much too quick (like, orders of magnitude too quick) to jump to conclusions about things like that. That's why the site guidelines ask people not to post suspicions without evidence, like you did here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35063457 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35063457 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35063442 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35063442 ... but rather to email us at hn@ycombinator.com if they think they're seeing manipulation or abuse. We're happy to look at the data in such cases. I can tell you from long experience, though, that in threads on divisive topics, the Occamesque explanation is almost always adequate.
