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.

He's a 13 year old billionaire
This article about twitter ends with:
X aka Twitter has not been contacted for comment because it is known to only send a poop emoji in reply to media queries.
An immature 13 year old billionaire.
I happen to have a 13-year-old child. She is far more mature than this. If someone asked her a reasonable question, responding with a poop emoji would be the last thing she would think of.
Richie Bitch.
The worse thing is people are still paying attention to what he does. Why? I have no fucking idea.
Because he has an unimaginable amount of wealth.
Well, there you have it. Finally. A way to permanently block Elon's posts.
This must be some mental issue.
Affluenza.
But getting blocked by Elon means you don't get his spam posts any more, right? So that's a good thing for the recipient overall.

Man this is the type of shit archer would pull of. Wtf
Only difference being that Archer, despite his childishness, would donit in a clever way, as he actually has a brain.
He would also likely stop before it went too far as he actually has a conscience and some humility.
Also if Archer did it, it would be funny.
True, except for the funny part since it is funny here too in a dark point and laugh kind of way. Im laughing at space karen, not with him.
I think he's gonna implement a paywall for blocking.
I’m placing my money on this
I was here before this was added
OMG, that is IT! You were right on the money.
So damn right
"Blocking for me, not for thee! So decrees the king of X!" - Elon Musk
I'm picturing him wearing a towel as a cape with a burger king paper crown and wielding a paper towel roll as a scepter.
I want to see catturd2 on mastodon specifically so I can nuke whatever instance'll have him from orbit
He's definitely going to make Blocking a feature available on a higher priced subscription tier. Take it away, say people "convinced" him that some still want it, make up some BS about how maintaining the feature has a cost to Twitter and make people pay for it.
It'd probably cost a lot as he'd code it- each time a tweet is pulled up there'd be a full search to see which users have the tweet author blocked. If the returned list has the viewer's ID included then set the style for the tweet to not be visible.
Check is done by querying the list of users and running a for loop to see if any user names match the user name of blocked users. This is all handled on the client side and optimised by exposing the SQL server. Security is maintained by banning anyone who uses the word "drop" in any query (after the query goes through).
But I thought blocking was pointless, Elon
yes, I read the post too.
Ah I love when two bad people fight
If only they could have a cage match, and that cage is lowered into a volcano.
wasnt catturd theorised to be muskies alt
Just a fanboy Muskovite who got upset when Elon didn’t send him money for posting crap.
#leopardsatemyface 🤣
Couldn’t have happened to a nicer turd
Am I an idiot or does this image make no sense
No, you're right.
The upvotes on this show people just upvotes musk hate without reading
