    Elon Musk being an asshole is not “news”. Can we please just start ignoring that piece of shit instead of posting every god damn article about him all over Lemmy?

      It’s almost like there’s a voting system, and you can…like…you know…ignore it.

      Always blows my mind how fucking whiny people are about the shit they see on a crowd-sourced platform. Get a hobby, my dude.

        I downvoted it and also felt the desire to express my opinion in a comment. What else is the point of a comment section if not to comment on the content of the post?

        I find it a bit ironic that you left a comment to “whine” about “whiny” people when you could have followed your own advice by voting on my comment and ignoring it.

        Huh? I really don’t understand where all this came from. I’m not trying to “control the internet and the rest of the entire world”. I asked if we could all ignore Musk rather than give him so much attention all the time. If you disagree, that’s fine. Clearly, a lot of other people here do also, so I suspect that we will continue to see articles posted about anything and everything Elon Musk does. And that’s fine. That’s how this whole platform is intended to work. But that doesn’t mean I also shouldn’t express that I am tired of seeing “news” about the guy and would rather it stop.

            You’re right. Saying “I’m tired of seeing so much shit about Musk” is the same as “Musk did nothing wrong and it’s actually everyone else’s fault that he’s an asshole.” You’re too smart for me. I can’t believe I thought that I’d outfox you and everyone else here.

      I understand that sentiment, but we’re talking about a billionaire who has a hand in running the world, because of his billions. Everything he does is newsworthy. That doesn’t mean I want to read all of it, and I don’t, but we need to be aware.

      To boot, this news will hopefully get even more advertisers to realize how off the rails he and his corporations are, and stop even more companies from advertising or otherwise engaging with them.

        Yeah that’s totally fair. A billionaire’s actions are generally more newsworthy since they can exhibit much more control of the world around them than most people. I guess I’m just tired of this asshole and want his antics to just stop. But maybe that’s hoping for too much.
