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.

#ElonMuskisaTraitor The way things are going, pretty soon we'll be able to start a #GoFundMe to buy #Twitter and put a #Mastodon instance on its domain.
When he finally fully transitions to X, I'm sure he'll eventually retire the twitter.com domain, then someone can do exactly that.
Doubtful they will just give up the domain
He doesn't have to give it up. He just has to pay his domain fees like he pays his employees, his rent, his utilities, his taxes, his arbitration fees, his mounting judgements, etc. Give it a hot minute, twitter.com will be available soon enough.
I mean, yeah, normally an employee or group of employees is usually tasked with domain maintenance and renewal, but at Xitter, Inc. these days . . . that's not really the durable fix it is for other companies that do not have Elon Musk as their head.
Is it a xeet on xitter?
People honestly doubted that he would give up the branding. With how much he's cast it aside. Why in the long run would he keep the domain? It's just a reminder of what he's thrown away. What strategic value does it hold at this point?
The value is obviously to stop people from using it. Even if Elon doesn't want to use it, doesn't mean it would make sense to just give up the domain to someone. People still associate it with X so it would hurt the value of X if someone used it to host a twitter alternative like a masto instance.
He could sell it to a shell company that could redirect it to pornhub... that ought to make the trick and stop all media from still referring to ๐ as "Twitter", without the risk of someone using it to compete with ๐.
Main issue with a domain like that, is there are links to it everywhere. Very exploitable. Most of which Musk might not care about, but it would be a way of getting a lot of people's login information.
