Not sure why this is flagged. Relevant analysis.

Anything that could put Musk or Trump in a negative light is immediately flagged here. Discussions about how Grok went crazy the other day was also buried.

If you want to know how big tech is influencing the world, HN is no longer the place to look. It's too easy to manipulate.

On both of those cases there tends to be an abundance of comments denigrating either character in unhinged, Reddit-style manner.

As far as I am concerned they are both clowns, which is precisely why I don't want to have to choose between correcting stupid claims thereby defending them, and occasionally have an offshoot of r/politics around. I honestly would rather have all discussion related to them forbidden than the latter.

I don't think it takes any manipulation for people to be exhausted with that general dynamic either.
