Why is this flagged? Surely one of the most influential people in the tech space (and the richest man in the world) doing a nazi salute is pertinent to Hacker News?

Users flagged it.

Can you unflag it? What Musk has done is not a small thing.

If Hacker News is about the tech industry then we need to see the tech industry clearly, warts and all.

We cannot run away from it. We cannot memory hole it.

Past experience with this kind of thing by you-know-who does not lend itself to the idea of a substantive discussion.

HN isn't "about the tech industry" per se - its mandate is to discuss topics of intellectual curiosity. See https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. Celebrity troll moves (or whatever this is) don't fit that bill, so in this case I'm inclined to agree with the users who flagged the story.

Thank you for keeping this inflammatory garbage to a minimum. If photographers followed anyone around for a day, they could catch you do any number of silly poses.

Especially when you're speaking at a political rally and you perform two fascist salutes.

Nono, you don't understand. He is autistic so he didn't know what he was doing, in fact he is giving money to far right/nazi parties throughout the whole europe because he loves free speech and democracy
