Normally the penality on Twitter links is such that a good number of upvotes can still rescue it; now, it seems that penality has changed and there's a very strong penalty, which I strongly disagree with given the industry impact of what's been happening at Twitter.

It's on the front page now, after 100 upvotes.

I agree that it's wrong to penalize these topics. I don't normally get caught up in the drama of the day, but this trainwreck has really gotten my attention. Whatever the outcome, these events are going to have a major effect on our industry and the broader economy. The reckless absurdity of it all makes it even more newsworthy; major developments have been happening almost daily.

It doesn't hurt that this episode has brought some friends around to agreeing with my dismal view of Elon :)
