The 'they' in question are almost certainly users who are flagging this.

If your response to being wrong about something is 'oh, so the answer is more brownshirts', you might want to re-examine the totalizing nature of your Brownshirt Theory of Everything.

My theory is that if someone is such a fan to be inviting Musk to events or vigorously defending him online, in the year 2025.. it's had to ignore his social views... they may in fact be doing it because of his social views.

Meanwhile: “DOGE chief Musk asks X users if staffer who quit over racist tweets should be rehired” (https://www.cnbc.com/2025/02/07/elon-musk-doge-racist-treasu...)

This is the guy who said things like:

“You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity.”

“Just for the record, I was racist before it was cool.”

“Normalize Indian hate.”

“I just want a eugenic immigration policy, is that too much to ask.”

Why is YC normalizing what looks a whole lot like neo-nazism with a smug grin?

Musk has gone completely mask off, and many in VC land have followed.

It's one thing to think the "woke" went too far or argue over some fringe issues.. its another to think any of the above statements are acceptable, make nazi salutes on stage (and then troll tweet about it), etc.

The people inviting are not the same people as the people flagging? Like, how does it make sense that all of them are Musk fans? At this rate you might suggest that the people who are commenting here expressing their disapproval are only doing it in order to get the post flagged. Much more straightforward explanation - people who disapprove of this (along with people who have HN Muskery Fatigue) flagged it.

I got a leaked preprint of his talk.

He's going to demo how you can use large language models and bot farms to manufacture consent on a media and communication platform you control.
