Every day with the Elon spam. It’s infected Lemmy.
That's a bit much, isn't it? It's a brand new weird-ass truck, people are going to talk about it. And the article isn't exactly celebrating it.
If this article was about a new car from another brand, would you complain about it? I thought we wanted more content on this platform. Or we could just stick to memes I guess...
What do they sell, pizza?
They're a tech bro company.
And what is it that they sell?
Huh. Weird. I was certain they sell cars. I guess all those "cars" with the T on them I see driving around are holograms. Silly me.
Please explain to me how a company can sell over 4.5 million cars and not be a car company. Because 'they're a tech bro company' doesn't make any more sense than saying Coca-Cola isn't a beverage company because 'they're a stockholder profit company.'
Got it. Tesla isn't a car company, Coca-Cola isn't a beverage company and, on that note, Nintendo isn't a game company and Adidas isn't a shoe company.
"Actual car manufacturers" are also not car companies. Based on your own rationale.
I'd agree that I see way too much Elon stuff on my lemmy feed. This one I'm more interested in than 99% of the others. Maybe it's just cause I'm a gear head, but I'll sure as heck take it over the 10 X (formerly known as Twitter) "news" articles that I scrolled past to get here. News in quotes because it is no longer news that X (more commonly known as Twitter) and its owner are dumb.
I find that a don't sprain my thumb scrolling over something that I don't want to read
The oldest and lamest justification for having shitty and repetitive content.
Choose a different platform them. Or use a filter. Or I dunno fucking whine about other people discussing what interests them.
Use a filter. Other people want to talk
no get out
Well, that's me told =)
It resists antibiotics, there's nothing we can do.
It's his broke mind virus. It's sometimes fascinating but I'm mostly over his antics.
For some reason, all Lemmings seem to have a constant hate boner for him. I don't like him, but this is just taking it to a whole new level...
When he agrees with someone who says that people like me are trying to destroy white people (insinuating Jews aren't even white), I think "a constant hate boner" is appropriate.
There's plenty of people I don't like and I spend basically no time thinking about them. Why these people let Elon live rent free in their minds is beyond me. Not a day goes by without a thread about him on the front page along with the most predictable comment section imaginable. Apparently the glue holding Lemmy together is the mutual hatred of certain things and people. That's just sad. We're giving them what every asshole in the world desires the most; attention.
Ok, but not every random asshole is the richest guy in the world...
And what does that have to do with anything?
You don't understand why people might more frequently discuss the actions of someone with enormous power and influence, than they would those of Darryl from high school?
The only thing more insufferable than celebrity worship is celebrity hate.
This is recreational outrage. There are plenty of actually bad people out there that cause tons of suffering and are aspiring to make the world a worse place but instead people are complaining about some tech bro that's hardly any more influencial than the Kardashians.
And every day someone posts about how everyone else posts about something that they, personally are not interested in. I guess everyone else is wrong
I feel like lemmy needs excluded word filters so you can just say hide any post that includes "Elon Musk"
Sync can do that.
Oh? I'm actually using sync primarily and didn't know that 😂
It would be nice if it was on the server side so the list just worked regardless of client though
