If you search HN for twitter posts and sort by popularity over the last 24 hours, no posts appear. I think HN is censoring new Twitter stories. Posting this was an attempt at trying to realize this in real time.

might have to do with algolia having issues
Noticed the same thing, but I'm not sure exactly because I tried other keywords ("silenced") and the article still didn't show. Search could just be crap. Or the article flagged in some way we can't see.
I posted the same article as you without seeing you post it first. Exact same URL string. And it didn't show up as a dupe and get combined. That does tend to make me think it's being treated "specially"
Someone should do an empirical study, but I'm almost certain this is deliberate. Paul Graham is quite the defender of Elon Musk.
