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.

Where were these fuckers before the election‽ They did a lot of talk in the lead up to Nov 6th but then nothing came of it

Now they actually want to do something lmao

[–] annette_runner@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They were probably murdered by the CIA or something. Who would know?

[–] metaStatic@kbin.earth 6 points 1 day ago

you misspelled suicide

where were these fuckers before the election

Shitposting on chan boards, running right wing grifts, spreading QAnon conspiracies…

I'm not sure what launching a DDoS would have accomplished... Twitter will be back soon enough

[–] Monument@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 day ago

Before the election, they had to look out for the CSRB and CISA. Now… not so much.

Surely they just clicked the 'X' button and it closed itself down?

[–] ShadowRam@fedia.io 15 points 1 day ago

Apparently that's what the news is saying

Bunch of anons: DDoS Xitter

Elona: Ukraine did it!

Wait before this dimwit will start screaming of casus belli against an unfriendly Ukraine and the USA will start selling Russia weapons.

Makes me wonder,

Similar to all the peeps 20 years ago in the SETI@home movement, where you could donate your CPU/bandwidth.

Is there any 'safe' way to donate and collectively protest on the internet by signing up to a botnet?

[–] princess@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 1 day ago

low orbit ion cannon and friends were tools for participating in anon ddos ops back in the day, but it wasn't exactly safe -- without a vpn your isp and other intermediaries can see your traffic, and the host can see your ip address. with a vpn you're in part dosing your vpn, depending on the attack

no idea how anon organizes such things these days

[–] RandomStickman@fedia.io 15 points 1 day ago

Wow it's been a little while since I've heard Anonymous taking credit

[–] HexesofVexes@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

Honestly, even if it isn't doing much, it's making a statement which is more than enough.

[–] _core@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Wow, good for them. Way to roll in to save the day after the fascists took power. Too bad they didn't do something when it could have made a difference.

Nice. I love anonymous.

[–] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Could they challenge DOGE?

[–] Placebonickname@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

I applaud the blocking of social media as a form of activism and yet peaceful protest.

Not Anon,a specific group that named themselves.

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (4 children)

The conspiracy crowd believe that Anonymous are a wing of the FBI/CIA. I wonder how they'll reconcile known persons openly attacking another piece of the government. Probably “something something deep state”

[–] b1t@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago

Can confirm. As a former network support "staff" member I was paid by the both the CIA and the FBI. Neither paid very well though.

Good on them, I guess. But Twitter is only a small part of the problem.

[–] steal_your_face@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Where does it say on the website that they are taking credit for the blackout?

[–] therealjcdenton@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago

Looks like something a 16 year old script kiddie would make, no way it's real
