The end result of that is that Musk will be lionized by Hacker News but never criticized.

Your policy settings are wrong.

> lionized by Hacker News but never criticized.

You need only look at any thread involving His Muskness from the past several years to satisfy yourself that is not the case.

    A story about Musk being unable to explain X/Twitter's stack and immediatly attacking the person asking him about it has been not only flagged but completely removed.

      That post wasn't deleted. If you turn 'showdead' on in your profile, you'll see it. (This is in the FAQ: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html.)

      We never delete a post outright except when the author asks us to (and not necessarily then, either, for example if it got replies).

      I hate Musk, and he doesn't seem to have a clue about the Twitter stack.

      But in this link that you shared, those who ask the questions are being disrespectful first. From my point of view, this recording has no value at all.

    There are plenty of authors and writers who could discuss political controversies as intellectually profound learning examples, etc. That is a norm in academia, for example. It reflects more on online forums and basic limitations of forum structure and demographics, rather than anything intrinsic about a given topic.
