I just wanna remind people that this website is full of elon's drones and bots who mob flagged any criticism of DOGE for months on end. A lot of the "outrage" expressed in this discussion is likely faux.

Posts about US politics that have nothing to do with technology and are otherwise uninteresting get flagged because HN is not the place for that.

> Off-Topic: Most stories about politics

If you just want to talk about how much you hate the current US administration with other people who also spend all their time talking about how much they hate the current US administration, there are much better places for that, such as r/politics.

DOGE posts had everything to do with technology and silicon valley

DOGE itself is related to technology, but the posts about it often aren't. The ones that at least pretend to invite some sort of tech-related discussion in the comments generally do well.

		Even the posts which had to do with technology were flagged so it definitely felt more like Elon bots or Elon fanboys than something organic.

Elon Musk posts about self driving car technology coming in the next 3 years (for 10 years): very technology related, super cool, straight to the front page! Take my money!

Elon Musk takes effective control of government functions by bribing incoming President, uses power to close investigations into his driverless car technology that is currently running amok on city streets causing death and destruction: not technology related, off topic and uninteresting. Downvote and flag.

I mean it’s always been an outlet of a popular Silicon Valley VC. As the US sinks more and more into despotism, those controlling Silicon Valley are just enablers of that despotism.
