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.

God it would be so fucking nice if "vote with your wallet" wasn't literally impossible because so many fucking people are just apathetic and won't leave...
That place only makes money from advertisers. It has lost something like 80% of them since he bought it. This is happening despite Twitter's actual users still mostly hanging around.
The advertisers are voting with their wallets; your wallet actually doesn't apply here. Apathy of the users doesn't apply here either. Musk continues to run the site the way he wants because, fuck it, who cares, he's still richer than god. None of this matters to him.
His behaviour indicates that it clearly does matter to him.
