Users flagged this one—no doubt because these stories are so extremely repetitive.

This happens to almost every post that’s somewhat negative about Tesla. They mysteriously disappear from the front page within minutes even after getting a lot of engagement. I’m pretty sure some nefarious flagging is happening and I hope dang takes a look at it.

  Same on twitter. My timeline is full of this story yet it isn't in trending.

    Amazing that you think Elon Musk wouldn't actively be censoring news unfavorable to his companies. Doubly so that you think he's capable of shame.

  HN’s ranking algorithm penalizes potential flamebait stories as I understand it. If you watch, you’ll see stories with more comments than points will quickly fall off the front page.

    No, it's clearly a conspiracy to make Tesla look better on a niche forum. Enemy action is the only possibility.

  No need to hope; just email him! hn@ycombinator.com.

  I usually flag posts like these after a scan through the comments, as even though the article is tech related, the comments on this type of topic are usually uninsightful, 90% of the time just being typical political/social echo chamber warfare, an excuse for people to post low quality comments shitting on the persona non grata, in this case, Elon. These types of topics on HN usually accomplish nothing other than increasing the hate in the world. If the comments don't follow that pattern I don't flag. But they almost always do.

    Why can’t you just flag the comments you don’t like instead of suppressing a relevant story?

    Flagging is not for discussions unworthy of your standards. Check the guidelines.

I found this on page 1. I wonder if it is because: Elon Musk fires Tesla's entire supercharger team is more clickbaity than: Tesla conducting more layoffs, including entire Supercharger team

Sounds like the flamewar detector algorithms reacted to it. Happens for a lot of Apple posts too. Y’all could email the mods to have them merge the dupes, and to review the post to make sure it isn’t being brigaded by Tesla fans or whatever. Contact link’s in the footer.
