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.

Epstein didn’t bother typing anything into his subject lines half the time (his email skills rival that of the age group he was preying on).

So when Musk replied, it was just “re: [blank]”

Don’t most email clients, or possibly even the SMTP server itself, add something like “(no subject)” when you “forget” to add a subject line (after warning you about it multiple times. I think even the pine mail client did this.) So back in the day when no one understood email, and this is way way after that time period, you would see subject lines like “RE: (no subject)”

So it’s weird to me to just see “RE” all by itself.

That was my point.

But I appreciate all of the replies educating me on the history of email. ❤️👍🏻🦕

It shows up in the DOJ’s files without the “no subject.” Not the same Musk email, but a different one:

It’s kinda funny how in business school, you are taught a lot about email etiquette, but at a certain level it apparently doesn’t matter.
