It’s been 28 minutes since it was submitted. Chill. The algorithm needs time to work. It’s a feature, not a flaw, that posts can skyrocket to the top of the front page. It’s why HN has fresher news.

It will get flagged and die, read the guidelines or contact hn directly if you have issues with this. There's no comments for the reasons you've described.

#7I wonder what it would take to shake America of the whole 'temporarily embarrassed millionaire' problem.
At this point I assume even a hard economic crash pioneered and gleefully supported by the rich isn't enough of a cold water splash. I think that mentality is too locked in for a large subset of Americans. Musk has been increasingly getting more and more rancid and that doesn't seem to deter his supporters at all.

I upvoted it and I don’t usually vote up stories but this is exactly what we need to see.
As reference my article that said more or less the same as this article, was #1 on the front page for almost a whole day in 2024: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39569747
I’m excited to see the sea change in political sentiment and how people are talking, so I’m 100% here for it.
