I see no reason for this to get flagged. Not every heated comment section deserves a flag, and no one is insulting each other. If it’s done by the mods, I think we deserve an explanation.

Probably the baity title was part of it. We've replaced that with the more neutral URL slug now.

Edit: oh and yes, users flagged it. That's nearly always the case with submissions marked [flagged]. This is in the FAQ: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html.

Fair enough, thanks for the reply

Most stories critical of Musk are flagged regardless of the topic. It's not done by dang - he regularly unflags them.

That's true. But uncritical ones are flagged just as much as critical ones (if not more), so I think we can guess at the common variable.
