Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
The one comment cites a post about OpenAI and Musk's attention, quoting its line that Musk would buy a website rather than go to therapy. The commenter discusses the article's point in an Ask HN thread about Twitter's unpaid rent.

What Hacker News says?
Yesterday there was an article (or a rant) here which was flagged. https://gkeenan.co/avgb/an-inordinate-amount-of-our-attentio... Author describes Musk like this: "Dude will literally drop $44 billion to buy a website instead of going to therapy.", which is a funny way to say that he _should_ go to therapy, with which I agree. Oh, and the whole thing is about OAI.
