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.

Paywalled :(
It's actually not, you just have to make an account I think.
Pay your journalists! There are other things important in the world than everything being easy.
I don't want an account for each of all the hundreds of news websites referred to on Lemmy.
If they don't want me to read their stuff without an account then I won't.
Also, creating an account won't pay the journalists a cent. Can I pay a monthly subscription that gives me access to ALL news sites, sign me up. I will pay. I don't think that exists though.
Until then, I guess I'll have to get by without knowing exactly what hurt Elons' feelings.
It literally would have been easier to make an account than to type up this comment.
I get that people are jaded by the modern internet being so full of bullshit, with pop-ups or restrictions that want you to enter your email being one prime example. But subscribing or giving money to people who are making real good news is not bullshit.
If you want a real somewhat-more-reasonable solution as opposed to subscribing to 20 different news sources (which issue I can also understand), you can subscribe to a couple of ones from rss.ponder.cat (whether or not they have a paywall), pay them, and then get stories from them and from the rest of Lemmy and be free of the paywall in both locations.
Not necessarily. Avoid making assumptions about those whose threat model and precautions you know little about.
