Many Musk related posts get flagged.
Being the wealthiest guy on earth who constantly puts himself on public display, I would imagine he pays an army of people to protect his perception of himself. I wonder: is this an example?

The actual quote:
> Don’t be a retard who believes bogus polls
Why did you alter it in the title of this post? The original phrasing fits in the HN title limit.
Wow, obviously hit a nerve.
I do get the impression that he wants desperately to be liked, but is just, well, really really good at giving people reasons to dislike him.
