why can't I upvote the story? Also this posting must be burried 100 pages down. It's non-existant. So if I understand the discourse, anything critical of (His You-Know-Whoness) get's automatically down ranked and flagged?
> this posting -> anything
This is the error in your logic. You can't draw any general conclusion from one post. In fact there have been zillions of major threads critical about Musk and if you take a little time to use HN Search you'll find them. If you don't want to do that, there are dozens listed here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43227619.
I call this the "nobody goes there anymore it's too crowded" theory of HN. How can the very most covered topic still feel like it's being completely suppressed? Kind of weird no?
