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.

"Microblog Necrophilia" sounds like a thrash metal album by Frank Zappa
Weasels Ripped My Flesh
But this is funnier. I'd find it hilarious if a bunch of people started using Twitter and Meta lost any real people it has left.
Not this time though
Would've been better as a Mastodon instance. As it is it's yet another proprietary garbo platform
My neighbor told me fascists keep buying his proprietary social media platforms so I asked how many proprietary platforms he uses and he said he just goes to a new platform whenever it happens so I said it sounds like he's just growing social media platforms to sell to fascists and then his daughter started crying.
The crying was actually unrelated, she's biting hair again, so she got punished with the 1 day blinding stew
Who owns it?
Some American company or another (Operation Bluebird) so ... yeah. Not going to use it ever.
It is quite funny, at the same time, twitter.now is investor powered garbage again (like why the fuck do you need investors for shit like that?).
So better to stay away and watch the shitshow, because musk is not done and it was just a judge’s comment, not definitive ruling.
like why the fuck do you need investors for shit like that?
If you’re aiming to scale into a genuine competitor you need servers, infrastructure and engineers so you’re either already wealthy or you get investment.
This is basic economics.
It'd be funny if they just used Grok to vibe code everything too.
Nope. I respectfully disagree.
If your software is good, people will come and stay. Especially if you build on a known brand, which is basically free marketing.
Investors are only needed for the super lazy engineers who still believe using hyperscalers is the way to go, instead of optimizing your software.
That is very funny.
What is he wearing in this picture? Is that a pirate shirt?
White tie -- specifically a wing collar shirt and a white bow tie. I'm not sure what's on the collar at the nape of his neck, but it would be funny if it was a clip.
It is a clip, that's a pretied bow tie with an adjustable collar.
