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.

What does this even mean? How do you “steal” a post?

For those wondering. Yes is real post.

Maybe he is thinking of scraping? He did file a lawsuit trying to go after four different people for "scraping". But one, the identity of the four hasn't even been figured out yet. And two, the Ninth Circuit ruled last year that scraping by itself is not illegal and leaned on the standard the Fifth Circuit put in that, scraping is only illegal if it enriches a person.

Either way, I guess now that I've linked his post it's up to you all to decide how you will handle the moral conundrum of downloading a Tweet.

With Phony Stark there's no need to make up crazy bullcrap tweets! He's clearly talking about plagiarism - something he's an expert at - as he's started paying his Tweeting buddies, so obviously Tweets are now My Precious commodity. Which from a libertarian/right wing perspective is where he's been shifting access, which makes no advertising sense but again that's Mush for you.

Remember when he “stepped down” and hired a CEO?

[–] vis4valentine@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wait, that includes re twits?

At this point I'm pretty sure he's got a neuralink embedded in his ass that tweets this stuff out. It's fascinating if you think about it that way, and makes a lot more sense.
