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.

Finally and can't wait to see much much more
I'm shocked it wasn't Ukraine I tell you positively shocked now let's watch everyone who reported as such reverse it...
It was about as obvious of a lie as when people tried to say that Russia blew up their own pipeline.
How do you join a DDoS these days?
Is LOIC and HOIC still a thing?
Or what are the cool kids doing
Wow, I haven't heard anything from those guys in a hot minute.
They're doing what we should all be doing. Particularly those obsessed with the 2nd amendment, since this is literally what it was made for.
Dirty little secret they don't want to admit is 2A was for the military. Not meal team six.
News to me, the other day when it was just a regular DDOS they said it wasn't them so I assumed the blackout wasn't either.
I love every sentence they have in the first picture
Probably what the Democrats should’ve said
Every inch is important.
This is the energy Anonymous is supposed to have. I still fondly recall the work they did on Scientology.
Mr Robot was great
One of the big - but to be expected - problems had always been, that basically every group or individual could don the "Anonymous" label. But yeah, this is in the spirit of the anti-authoritarian hacker identity, that it started out with.

Obligatory "Anonymous is not your personal army," but yeah, this is Anonymous at its best.

I fucking HATE that there is a typo. 😡
Those things always have at least one typo. That's how you can tell they're legit.
I guess it fits the bill for hackers not to be concerned with things like proof reading lmfao
In the old days, hackers were also fans of lexicology, etymology and other nerdy word stuff. Now that they're into anime, it has some unexpected drawbacks (but they make cute emojis, I guess).
They’re all too neurodivergent now 😔
What are you trying to say here? That neurodivergent are lesser humans?

Fuck, I wish we heard more about chaotic good hackers like this more often. They're like our modern day super heroes in some regard to me.
I think they caught most of them from back when they were more active (2009-2012) or at least were more in the public eye.
The ones that didn’t get caught went underground and stopped working together as ‘anonymous’
Lulzsec comes to mind
Remember that time Anonymous fought Scientology? That's why we don't have Scientology anymore.
Can't tell if sarcastic or not.
Yeah, Scientology is still quite powerful but they were exposed for a lot during that attack.
Plus, this isn't the same group of people. Anonymous was never a set group of hackers or anything, it was a catch all name used back in the day to keep anonymity, and then later on a bunch of edgy dorks decided to pretend they were an actual organization
I spoke out about Scientology and now have unmarked cars/vans outside my house daily (off and on for a year)… I was perma banned from Reddit for speaking my truths… it’s effing terrifying!!! Fuck Reddit and the cesspool they are creating! It’s embarrassing!
if you were in the scientology cult, yea they want to keep thier secrets within the cult.
I hope that what you’re saying is true and that you aren’t experiencing some kind of breakdown.
I say that from a genuine place of concern AND, it breaks my heart that we live in a world where someone has to worry about such things.
It wouldn’t surprise me if Scientologists were stalking you, but I’ve been making fun of them online for 20+ years and I’ve never had this problem.
Were you born into Scientology? If you were, yeah, they’re probably stalking you. Same if you joined the cult at any point in your life.
Film this shit and ask people to confirm you’re dealing with this.
The difference is probably that they spoke up about their friends and family joining. Scientology is incredibly petty and well-known for stalking and harassing critics. In particular, during Operation Freakout they tried to get their critics put in mental hospitals, so it's kinda their SOP to make it look like their critics are having a mental breakdown. You might be safe criticizing Scientology anonymously online, but if you're annoying them in a specific way (e.g. trying to convince specific people to leave), and they know who you are, I can absolutely see them messing with you.
I really wish cults would vanish from this planet.
Humans and religion though. :/ Tale as old as time.
You give them a persecution complex and oh boy!
No breakdown, was never born into it but spoke out against my friends and family in that joke of a church/cult and now it scary! Because they targeted me on social media… I dropped everything but now Lemmy.
I believe you in documenting the encounters I have, I honestly never thought to document because I legit just felt like they were turn on me and make me be the bad guy. But honestly with everything going on… Miscaviage showed how ridiculous the “religion” is with him making shit up! They legit believe in some sort of alien…. Coming to “save them” … I still have friends in the “cult of Scientology”. And levels that don’t exist because their cult is garbage, he’s in it for money!

There is no way this is the same guys who went after Scientology, however, I do love whoever they are. We need more people fighting fascism.
They're based on the AnonOps IRC so it is, technically, the same sect of Anonymous. Although anyone can join and start an Op there so...

Yes more more more!!
Twitter is working fine, "blackouts" aren't what they used to be. DDOS attacks aren't really hacking, and would barely interrupt services at the level today's "anonymous" has access to.
People claiming to be anonymous hackers very slightly inconvenience whoever's still on Twitter.
I'm no fan of Musk, but something more powerful needs to be done.
Voting. Voting could have been done. I know it sounds trite and overly simplistic, but that's the power We The People have, as set up in the founding of our country. We just have to use it...
How many people sat out in 2024, as everyone politically-engaged screamed that a Trump administration would be bad for the economy, bad for Palestinians, bad for Ukrainians, and bad for America (because it might literally elect a fascist dictator who will enact Project 2025 and refuse to give up their power)? Several thousand? That sounds reasonable, right? Maybe up to hundreds of thousands? Maybe even a million people...? No. 90 million people who were eligible to vote in the presidential election didn't vote by mail, ignored the election drop boxes, and sat at home on Election Day.
That's enough to beat any entrenched political coalition opposed to progress. That's not some "pie in the sky" fantasy, we literally had the numbers to accomplish every single political agenda that actually helps working Americans:
#If "Did Not Vote" was a candidate:
I say this all without an ounce of schadenfreude. I genuinely don't want to hurt the faces of the people who voted for the leopards, not least of all because we all suffer along with them. I will keep shouting this point because we have to do better in the future. Voting isn't always fun, but it's the first and most powerful defense against a wannabe dictator like Trump or Musk. I literally don't care how "not excited" you are about the candidate that doesn't want to tear the US apart, you need to vote, and vote against fascism. ~~That's our only hope going forward...~~ EDIT: Okay, maybe it's not our only hope, but it's where we have to start.

Is it possible to take down the server's that back Tesla's? Just hinder voice commands, maps, software updates, telemetry, the mobile app, etc.
That'd be fun.
If the computer exists it can theoretically be compromised, it just depends on the resources of the individual or group attempting to compromise it. For example, the US Government created Stuxnet targetting the completely airgapped computers which operated centrifuges in Iran. They created brand new malware, loaded it onto flashdrive and sprinkled said flashdrives near the target, then sat and waited then observed their nuclear refinement centrifuges fail way more rapidly than they should effectively killing their nuclear program
