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.

In theory, if there was enough Nazi stuff on Twitter to the point where the algorithm can't place ads, does that mean Musky doesn't get paid?
If they have an "opt in" option there will be plenty of groups willing to pay with hate speech associated with their brand.
Musk gets paid just for breathing anyway. A couple billion in secured bonds and he'll make more in interest in a day than we'll ever see in our lifetimes.
This is true maybe I should say "will Twitter go bankrupt" but if it does it job pushing right wing fascism then the conservative parties around the world will chip in their Buck O'Five to keep it online forever anyways.
