This article is pretty strange. It opens with "...he was quietly ousted from Facebook after a $100,000 donation to a pro-Trump ‘shitposting’ group came to light."

However, the linked article doesn't say that. It says he gave $100,000 to Trump's inauguration. The linked article also references figures like "Microsoft, which donated $500,00", "Qualcomm, which donated $1,000,000". In fact, the article's title makes this clear: "...donated $100,000 to Trump’s inauguration"

How could a "reporter" and his editor be so confused that they completely misinterpret another article hosted on their own site? More importantly, why is this trash on Hacker News?
