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.

MODERATORS
This is some great c/leopardseatingmyface material, James Woods is such a brainwashed dip shit:
In December 2022, Woods announced his intentions to sue the Democratic National Committee following Elon Musk's release of the Twitter Files. Journalist Matt Taibbi reported that the Democratic National Committee requested a tweet made by Woods, related to Hunter Biden, be removed from Twitter.[96][97]
And now Elon tells him to delete his account, lol.
Two loathsome people
They deserve each other
Which is a shame, cause Woods is a great actor. Oh well.
Yeah, for sure. Man, I honestly wish there was a way to prevent knowing the details about the lives of artists I like. So many actors and musicians have ended up standing for things that I think are disgusting, and it's ruined their content for me in many cases. And I don't follow celebrity gossip/"news" at all unless it hits the front page, but sometimes it's just unavoidable.
There's actually a musician I like who has been around for a long time and I've managed not to know anything about his political beliefs or whatever. I'm not even going to mention his name here because I just know someone will say, "Wait, you didn't know he was convicted of eating baby eyeballs" or something like that.
this happened with me and mixed martial arts fighters growing up.. and yes i know they make their living getting bashed in the head, but what drew me in was the self discipline and humility aspect of it from a few of the fighters at the top.
one of them was most beloved not only because of how domniant he was but also his kindness and cheerful personality outside of it.. only to find out he lets former controversial brazilian presidential candidate jair bolsonaro live in his USA home.
Yep, seems like it's better not to know, but I also hate having my head in the sand.

And he won't. I hate the internet of today, everything is so tailored to money, everyone is so piss-scared of loosing influence and thus money that they'll stay on that shit-show of a platform no matter what
Totally agree with your point, but while I'm here, here's a good mnemonic device to help you use the right words with more impact:
Is your noose loose? Maybe you should lose the extra 'o'.
The message can't be any clearer. If you don't like what he's doing delete your accounts.
I'd be surprised if someone here still has an account, but still...
I wonder what is James Woods going to do.
Why should I care? I see tweets and I already know it's akin to children bickering.
WTF does "doing this to protect his advertisers" even mean? I don't want to dig into James Woods' brain worms enough to actually find the tweet, but I don't see how a massive uptick in harassment helps advertisers.
If I understand them correctly, James is suggesting this is to protect ads because the Promoted Tweets (are they even called that anymore?) ad category are run as fancy versions of regular tweets by regular Twitter accounts - meaning you can block them like any other Twitter account.
It was a very useful tool, one that no doubt hurts the reach of Twitter's dwindling ad revenue.
Odd part is that doesn't even make sense. I don't doubt that is what Jame Woods is thinking but if that was the case wouldn't it just make more sense for Elon to make it so you just can't block promoted tweets, and if you did they still show up since they are "promoted".
I suppose that's where the other part of it comes in, in which he (and many other conservatives for which "free speech" = "you HAVE to listen to me") is ass mad that the majority of users do not want to see him on their timeline.

I agree. In fact everyone should delete their account. Why the fuck are they on TruthSocial 2.0?
... I'm so glad I've never made a Twitter account.
Imagine what Musk will do if he sees what I say about him on Lemmy.
Edit: OK, I lied, I deleted it.

an arena of trolls, fighting for attention
Why is he removing the function to block? It only gives control to the user.
Because he doesn't care about user control if it means people can choose not to see his tweets.
