[flagged].. huh?

    It is because Grok Bot is from SpaceX, i.e. Elon Musk.

    This is an OpenClaw competitor relevant to tech. But because it has an association with Elon Musk, the audience on HN quickly flags it.

    In fact, baseless claims of SpaceX being a scam [0] is far more interesting than this press release it seems.

      So, censorship? I'd like to read what they have to offer regardless of Elon. Should we all flag what comes out of OpenAI because of Sam Altman?

      This is absurdly unacceptable.

        Dang already explained that the flag system works automatically based on how many people flagged the post. The mods will remove the flag whenever gets to their attention.

        It is a system that suffers with the new wave of bots in online discourse, but I'm not sure if removing the users' power to flag would be better

        Yes. I flag all press releases from all major AI companies. It's all just marketing spam, including this one.

    Again, the site needs more transparency. The amount of censorship is shocking with how bad it is. This stuff needs much more manual review
