Hacker News has fickle guidelines around politics that can justify flagging anything post-hoc. There is no hard-and-fast rule banning Musk posts but almost anything mentioning him does tend to get sandbagged these days. Here's a cheat sheet for which politics this site considers offensive since it's confusing to me too: Ukraine, Russia, Syria, China, Taiwan, Saudi Arabia = Holistic, ethical and apolitical conversation. Israel/Gaza, Trump, Socialism, IMF, Musk = Subversive flamebait and grounds for banning your account.
