I was trying to follow what happened. It appears that prior to the start of the AMA, various subreddits, such as r/teslamotors, collected questions within their subreddit that they wished Musk to answer, then posted them in the AMA and upvoted them.

Moderators of /r/AMA see that as "vote brigading" and hid or deleted the questions so that Musk could not answer them.

Did I get that right in terms of what happened?

Well the AMA was supposed to be SpaceX only. I'm not surprised that questions about Tesla were deleted or ignored.

Nothing in the original post by Elon Musk states that.

Its a "AMA" or "Ask me Anything."

Original Post: >Zip2, PayPal, SpaceX, Tesla and SolarCity. Started off doing software engineering and now do aerospace & automotive.

>Falcon 9 launch webcast live at 6am EST tomorrow at SpaceX.com

>Looking forward to your questions.

>It is 10:17pm at Cape Canaveral. Have to go prep for launch! >Thanks for your questions.

That's not how AMAs work, though, right? I thought the whole point of AMA was that questions could address any topic.
