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.

Man only 1 in 5 people left Twitter in the US? A bit disappointing....

Tbf 3 in 5 are probably bots controlled my musk

Well, they lost 1 in 5 users in the US. I think there are a lot more users than people on the site, as it counts bots and alts and such

Kinda restores my faith in humanity

"Kinda" is kinda not promising....

[–] Vinny_93 -4 points 2 weeks ago

Well this is only one slice of the cake. If you pay any kind of attention to what goes on in the world, faith is nowhere to be found, let alone restored. Human beings by and large are horrible and one tiny act of sense doesn't redeem heaps of malaise and sorrow.

That y axis is super misleading

It’s not just musks antics it’s the people he’s allowing on Twitter. When you have outright racism, sexism, and queerphobia everywhere it’s not exactly a fun place to be for anyone.

I wonder what that would look like if you could subtract the bots?
