I’m shocked. Shocked, I tell you. I’d never imagine that nice Mr. Musk would do that… Oh? He’s been a total ass to workers at his other companies too you say? No, say it isn’t so…

    Lemmy is pretty much just an Elon feed and it’s annoying AF. I get it, Elon is a shit human. I personally don’t want to promote shit humans, even if it’s to talk shit about them. Let X die

        Or, you know, seeing as you guys are the ones being downvoted into the negative, you could take your own advice and start your own Elon-free tech community. Nothing is stopping you.

          the popular answer does not equal the right answer. this is called c/technology. before you spin that elon is in tech so how he picks his nose matters, it doesnt.

            How he picks his nose doesn’t matter. How he runs a tech company and how he affects people working in tech does.

            And the popular answer does equal the right answer when the question is “does this community think this question is relevant to this community?” The votes are literally this community telling you whether or not it thinks that is true.

              No, the antics of a tech company owner are not relevant to a technology sub.

              Musk is a shitty person. This is not news. We don’t need a running ticker on what bullshit he’s done now.

              All you’re doing is giving a narcissistic bully exactly what he wants - attention.

                The votes prove you wrong, no matter what your opinion on it is. You’re free to disagree, but the notion that the people who make up this community are not the arbiters of what is and is not relevant to a community flies directly in the face of the very foundation Lemmy is built on.

                  People voted Trump into office, so I don’t put a lot of stock in people’s votes.

                    That is a reason for arguing that people don’t always make smart choices. It is however not an argument for claiming how people vote does not show what their preference is at the time of voting, which is what is relevant here.

                    It’s perfectly fine to argue you think it’s stupid of people to want to read about Musk, but the votes clearly show they do in fact want to.

                I don’t know about that. I don’t think laughing hysterically at how stupid he is is what he wants. That’s actually the best way to hurt narcissistic bullies – mocking them and laughing at them.
