It's not HN users causing this, there's a sustained effort by HN/YC stakeholders.

That's incorrect. It's user flags.

I doubt it, there are still a -lot- of EM fans here who would flag this sort of thing.

[pvg]

Things like that don't get flagged out of Muskfandom.

This is ridiculous. There's no reason to flag this thread. Users who abuse flagging should have their flagging privileges taken away.

Never assume conspiracy. There's a non-trivial amount of HN isers cheering for Team Musk (because move fast and break everything) and a larger part that's just sick of American news (especially anything Trump/Musk related).
