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.

MODERATORS
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).
