Nothing's made the HN front page yet, but apparently Tesla is laying off > 10% of their workforce now. https://techcrunch.com/2024/04/15/tesla-layoffs-workers-

  around 14000 workers. I would have expected this to hit front page.

    Yeah...I strongly suspect both of these are getting nuked from a flag/downvote/mod perspective. I kinda get it, commentary about Tesla immediately becomes commentary about Musk, which is effectively just incendiary political discussion at this point. This post has 226 points, 234 comments, posted ~2 hours ago, and went from the front page to >#100 between two refreshes. The most popular layoff post had 143 points, 220 comments, posted 5 hours ago and I can't even find it outside of search: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40038549 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40038549

      Users have been flagging most Tesla-related posts (not to mention Musk-related posts), no doubt because they nearly always turn into the same tedious and repetitive drama. I've turned off the flags on this one since the discussion seems more substantive than usual, although it's not clear how significant the story is.

    It did, multiple times, but was always flagged/downvoted/manually removed.
