Enough Musk Spam
For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.
No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.
Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.
Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.
Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.

It's sad, because this article is paywalled hard, but archive.today and archive.ph (also .is, .md, .fo, .li, .vn) are DDOSing a blogger who investigated them. They could also be Russian assets (js from mail[.]ru).
This is from their CAPTCHA page, meaning every visitor executes that scriptlet at least once:
I obfuscated the bloggers domain because I think they have enough trouble as it is, but it isn't hard to find.
So if I use the service I'm helping to ddos that blog?
Édit: is there a way to block thar with ublock eg?
Yes. Every time.
There might be ways to circumvent the DDOS but imo this service has lost all credibility.
Shame it's useful to bypass news websites pay walls
