I don't know why it got flagged in the first place, but I flagged it for the suggestion that people who disagree with you are part of a PR campaign, which is an banned argument that is specifically called out in the guidelines.

(I loathe Elon Musk, for whatever that's worth.)

In case anyone else was curious, the relevant paragraph in the guidelines appears to be the following:

> Please don't impute astroturfing or shillage. That degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about it, email us and we'll look at the data.

Why do you loathe him? I’m surprised to hear you say that.

I simultaneously loathe him (and think you shouldn't patronize his businesses) and also agree with Dan Gackle's take that discussions about Musk on HN are like arguments about Spider Man, so I'll spare you the details.

My post wasn't flagged (afaik), the article was.
