My guess is that the news has been fractured too much. Normally in a situation like the Musk/Twitter news, @dang will merge a few of these stories together so that one post has all of the votes/comment momentum. There are a lot of stories out there, and still not a ton of confirmation yet. I personally expect for one of these threads to make it to the front page sometime tonight...

Also -- this Twitter news will likely affect many people on HN. It's going to be an ongoing topic of conversation; there are just too many people that might be affected in the coming days/weeks.

(Disclaimer: I posted one of these stories)
