    There’s Elon Musk spam on this community every day. Can we stop doing the billionaire’s PR for him?

    Downvote this garbage.

      If 1/2 the clowns that endlessly post anti-Twitter/anti-Musk stories would just STOP USING TWITTER, the entire site would collapse. Sick of seeing that asswipe’s name, but I’m not on his goddamn platform. I don’t drive his shitty cars. I won’t fawn over every goddamn thing he does.

      How much of an absolute douche do you have to be to make Zuck look good in comparison?!

      You claim you hate the guy, but the fact that you have a Twitter account proves that was a lie.

      While I agree, it’s good to know these ridiculous actions he takes. It’s not like it’s positive for him

        Musk operates on the “There is no such thing as bad publicity model”. He doesn’t care if the news is bad or good so long as his name / businesses are in the 24-hour news cycle. It’s stupid, but he gets idiots to bring him more attention.

          He doesn’t care, yet he’s suing an organization for reporting news on content on his website.

          I think you need to check your facts.

            Your example fits into the ‘any publicity is good publicity’ mindset too, fyi.
