Downvote Musk spam.
The billionaire doesn’t need your help ensuring him and his businesses stay in the 24 hour news cycle. Don’t be a useful idiot.
I thought all the attention Trump was getting in the news in 2016 would tank him because he always said and did the STUPIDEST shit. It’s hard not to think that exposing as many people as possible to how awful these toxic, narcissistic guys are would make people see the light and help end their crap. But for some reason it doesn’t. Does ignoring it help? I have no idea. Too dumbfounded still to this day.
Responding before this inevitability gets down-voted into oblivion.
i know this post is common, and it seems annoying to read this when all you want to do is “read the news”
But remember, even a repeating name in a headline is propaganda and you are not immune.
The only spam I see are the comments like this underneath every post referring to the one richest douche-bros on the planet. We get it. You hate the dude, but like it or not what he does has actual ramifications on real people and corporations. That makes him and his actions newsworthy… Screaming on Lemmy about how you’d like to be an ostrich and stick your head in the sand till he goes away isn’t gonna change that fact.
We get it, you want to simp for Elon Musk. Unfortunately, all the dick sucking you’re doing isn’t going to make him notice you.
What the fuck? What kind of simp would call the person they are allegedly dumping for an asshole?
All I said was that just because we hate him doesn’t make news about him “spam”.
Sounds like a money laundering scheme.
But no doubt he’s also selling some of the handles of formerly verified users, which could increase the disinformation and propaganda on his site by people posing as legit journalists, politicians, and celebrities who have left the platform.
Hello X-ian suckers, I got this primo 4-letter username for only $300 on the fediverse. You probably don’t know the ins and outs of the deep fedi handle market like I do, so I’ll make it easy for you: Just give me a call and it’s yours for only $500.
I’ll start the bidding at $10000 for mine
Do you accept rubles?
I have one too. I’m offering it for $250.
Desperation is high!
Who gives a shit? I wish I could filter out anything mentioning musk, x, or Twitter. Couldn’t give less of a fuck unless the news is that shitter has gone under.
Elon wants money.
Imagine spending that much money on a user name for a dying social media site. Lmaooo
