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.

What does -78% approval rating mean?
A typo most likely. I think its referencing this
spoiler
btw, someone happen to remember the tool to view tweets without giving the shit heel traffic?
xcancel.com?
thanks mate!
If i had to guess, a 22% approval rating but -78 sounds bigger?
Or it is a two-way poll, e.g. how would you rate musk from 100% favorable to 100% unfavorable, and it averages out for 78% unfavorable
It's possible, but doesn't seem like a great way to do a poll like this.
If you're neutral about him it'd be 0% which looks bad but isn't and is an awkward way to answer.
Usually I've only seen that on the
Very dissatisfied, somewhat, neutral, somewhat, very satisfied
Type scales.
+100%: everyone loves him; 0%: nobody cares, or the love and hate are equally balanced; -100%: everyone hates him. It's clearer than a 0-100 scale with nobody cares at 50% because positive-only results imply a level of approval.
