Enough Musk Spam

2089 readers
2 users here now

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.

He's a 13 year old billionaire

This article about twitter ends with:

X aka Twitter has not been contacted for comment because it is known to only send a poop emoji in reply to media queries.

An immature 13 year old billionaire.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 year ago

I happen to have a 13-year-old child. She is far more mature than this. If someone asked her a reasonable question, responding with a poop emoji would be the last thing she would think of.

Richie Bitch.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The worse thing is people are still paying attention to what he does. Why? I have no fucking idea.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Because he has an unimaginable amount of wealth.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 year ago

Well, there you have it. Finally. A way to permanently block Elon's posts.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This must be some mental issue.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 year ago

But getting blocked by Elon means you don't get his spam posts any more, right? So that's a good thing for the recipient overall.

Man this is the type of shit archer would pull of. Wtf

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Only difference being that Archer, despite his childishness, would donit in a clever way, as he actually has a brain.

He would also likely stop before it went too far as he actually has a conscience and some humility.

Also if Archer did it, it would be funny.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

True, except for the funny part since it is funny here too in a dark point and laugh kind of way. Im laughing at space karen, not with him.

[–] [email protected] 94 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I think he's gonna implement a paywall for blocking.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I’m placing my money on this

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

I was here before this was added

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

OMG, that is IT! You were right on the money.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

So damn right

"Blocking for me, not for thee! So decrees the king of X!" - Elon Musk

I'm picturing him wearing a towel as a cape with a burger king paper crown and wielding a paper towel roll as a scepter.

[–] [email protected] 48 points 1 year ago

I want to see catturd2 on mastodon specifically so I can nuke whatever instance'll have him from orbit

[–] [email protected] 40 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

But I thought blocking was pointless, Elon

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

yes, I read the post too.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He's definitely going to make Blocking a feature available on a higher priced subscription tier. Take it away, say people "convinced" him that some still want it, make up some BS about how maintaining the feature has a cost to Twitter and make people pay for it.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

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).

Ah I love when two bad people fight

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago

If only they could have a cage match, and that cage is lowered into a volcano.

[–] [email protected] 52 points 1 year ago

Just a fanboy Muskovite who got upset when Elon didn’t send him money for posting crap.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago

Am I an idiot or does this image make no sense

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

No, you're right.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

The upvotes on this show people just upvotes musk hate without reading

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Argh! He found a way to block my shtoyle.
