The sad part is that I put my phone down for a minute to do some chores. Picked it up and for a second thought this was a different article about a different narcissistic clown that is currently on the news a lot as well.

I really can’t wait for the day, when news about this clown just end. Everything he touches turns into garbage

Tell me about it.
I subscribed here to get tech news, but it seems like every other article is business news.

It’s the same as with Trump. The only reason you keep seeing these articles is because of the haters who can’t stop talking about him. It’s recreational outrage, pure and simple. There’s zero “fanboys” posting articles about Elon or Tesla here. All of it is coming from the people that have the obsession to constantly feed their chronic anger by reading articles that piss them off.

Granted, it’s much worse on Reddit, but there are plenty of fanboys around here.

Posting articles about Elon or Tesla? The only not anti-Tesla posts I’ve ever seen here are neutral (at best) news articles on EV-communities.

Nah, ignoring them doesn’t work past a certain point. If it did, it would have worked with Internet trolls back in the 90s.
You don’t want to give small time versions of Musk or Trump a platform. That’s when ignoring them works. Weird ass flat earther channel with 12 subscribers? Maybe don’t post them on Xhitter as outrage porn; just let it be. Once they have a hundred thousand subscribers, though, you can no longer ignore them and hope they go away. If you try, they will yell louder.

I genuinely struggle to see what the benefit of it is. In what way does it further the cause to spread these slander articles especially on a platform like Lemmy? Not a single fanboy is going to change their mind because of it and the rest of them (the vast, vast majority) already despises them to the fullest. It’s just a circle jerk at this point. Talking shit about Elon here is just a foolproof way to get upvotes and pats on the back.
Personally I have content filters for Elon, Musk, X, Twitter etc. but I still see atleast 3 new articles here each day. I can only imagine what the actual number is. This just seems like masochism from my point of view. I don’t spend any time following what the people I don’t like are up to and I can’t seem to figure out why anyone would want to do otherwise.

I wouldn’t hold your breath. His worth could be decimated 50 times over and he would still be worth a billion dollars. He has enough money and will to influence politics and has a weird fan base to boot. Also, for someone who claims to be an autistic person who dislikes people, he sure seems to be a massive attention whore.
I don’t foresee him fading into obscurity anytime soon, unfortunately.

Upvote for using decimated correctly and also being spot on with the math. Made me completely forget about what an ass-hat Musk is for a short time.

You can still crave attention from people you would never interact with in person
