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.

That title reads like "x now let's premium subscribers verify their real IDs"
Wouldn't most people assume their ID is real? Or at least take it to their relevant government institution if they have doubts?
I think it’s more that the average “verified” Blue subscriber just paid money and provided contact info, without actually providing ID at all. Now they’ll also verify an actual ID, and put some additional identifier next to your check to make you “more trustworthy.”
In other words, more Elon nonsense.
edit: in some cases, people just buy already verified accounts from a third party service. It’s a total joke from a verification standpoint.
I see. Thank you! That makes a lot more sense. They make it sound like an "opt-in" feature as opposed to a new (old) requirement
yeah, they have no idea what they’re doing, just trying to scrape in $ however they can with Elon’s latest deep thoughts, from a base of inherently suspicious people.
I'm sure they just mean you can use your actual government issued identification card to verify your identity, but the US has a form of identification called REAL ID that we are slowly being required to be compliant with.
