News articles about Elon's constant political clown shows aren't technology-related just because he's in charge of a few tech companies.

News articles about a CEO being fired from a tech company and then almost immediately rehired are tech-related, because they're about the tech company itself and the relevant actions of the people involved.

If this were a story about the opinions of Sam Altman, who happens to be a CEO of a tech company, about world hunger or something, that would be comparable. But it's an article about how a CEO, who happens to be Sam Altman, was fired and rehired from a tech company over the course of 3 days.

There are still obviously personalities and opinions involved, but they're in the context of technology, rather than technology being tangentially related to the context of someone's opinions.
