The only spam I see are the comments like this underneath every post referring to the one richest douche-bros on the planet. We get it. You hate the dude, but like it or not what he does has actual ramifications on real people and corporations. That makes him and his actions newsworthy.

Downvote Musk spam.
The billionaire doesn’t need your help ensuring him and his businesses stay in the 24 hour news cycle. Don’t be a useful idiot.

We get it, you want to simp for Elon Musk. Unfortunately, all the dick sucking you’re doing isn’t going to make him notice you.

What the fuck? What kind of simp would call the person they are allegedly dumping for an asshole?
All I said was that just because we hate him doesn’t make news about him “spam”.

Responding before this inevitability gets down-voted into oblivion.
i know this post is common, and it seems annoying to read this when all you want to do is “read the news”
But remember, even a headline is propaganda and you are not immune.

I thought all the attention Trump was getting in the news in 2016 would tank him because he always said and did the STUPIDEST shit. It’s hard not to think that exposing as many people as possible to how awful these toxic, narcissistic guys are would make people see the light and help end their crap. But for some reason it doesn’t. Does ignoring it help? I have no idea. Too dumbfounded still to this day.

Negative press should be promoted. Everything else should be downvoted. This article isn’t negative, but rather a desperate attempt to stay in the 24 hour news cycle.

I guess I read this as bad press!

I’m curious why you read it that way? This is Elon Musk’s company putting out a PR release for their latest strategy to make money (and make the news). This is Twitter desperately trying to stay relevant. Sharing this information (and rage bait practice of selling old twitter handles) only serves to give free advertising to Twitter.
