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.

I’ve had a twitter account for years and never tweet or like anything. It’s a pain to view without being logged in.
The article goes through some of the available data and doesn't make hard conclusions, nothing that many of the accounts with no followers or posts are likely lurkers, amongst the bots and others.
Yeah I noticed that, I think a lot of accounts that appear to be bots or empty are just lurkers like me. It's still the best place for sports news and updates.
If you read the article, they point out that a lot of these accounts don’t follow anyone but Musk. I would think that people following sports would be following sports-related accounts.
