Could someone help me understand why this was flagged? (I have no affiliation and I never heard of them until I saw this post)
I don't know who flags that, but since the beginning of this administration, that's very obviously either extremely corrupt or working for a foreign hostile government, most of the topics detailing this obvious statement are silenced. Maybe it's bots, maybe a way for Musk employees to avoid cognitive dissonance and try to silence the opposing voices. Who knows.
But in case it's not clear, the whole Western world right now is realizing really quickly that US is no longer a viable long term partner. We're witnessing history in the making, enabled by a tech entrepreneur (or some may say a con man, both would be right), and we can't hold a discussion about it on Hacker News.
