This submission received a fair number of upvotes in the first minutes of submission and yet never reached the front page. It's hard to believe that this isn't interesting to HN so why did it disappear?
Is it TSLA fans just flagging this so it doesn't get there? is there some other process that decides posts like this won't get to the front page?
It's possible submissions from Twitter are penalized. If so, I wouldn't be surprised - a site that makes context and nuance all but impossible to convey and that optimizes for emotion and hot takes is probably not a good fit for HN's goals.
My personal opinion is that Twitter should be banned as a primary source.
Yeah, but it's a terrible source. The mods do sometimes replace original sources when a better one comes along, maybe if the only source for something is a tweet, that's a sign it shouldn't be posted at all.
I am not a tesla fan; I am now flagging anything posted about Elon Musk that doesn't directly have to do with his contributions to technology or business and contain some sort of reasonable content.
