Why would this be flagged? The chat bot on one of the biggest platforms in the world has apparently been configured to spout conspiracies. I’m not sure what would be on topic for HN if not this story.

A sizeable portion of users now believe that topics related to X are no longer suitable for HN, because Musk's relationship with the American government means conversation can quickly devolve into criticism of that government's policies which in turn can lead to flame wars.
Another explanation is that there's another discussion. At least on the comments for that discussion the explanation is that this discussion exists...
The other discussion is flagged too.

Yes, I thought it was notable that they were both flagged because the other existed.
Because white supremacy is endemic in American culture (and tech).
Anything remotely related to Musk or Trump is targeted by people or bots to suppress it.
Even technology that would be very relevant to the site simply because it contains negative implications about Musk.
