Hey, Stephen, I love you and all but really? Just join us over on Mastodon instead of sticking with the fascists.

    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.

        Ah yes, a space for people who are fed up of hearing about Elon. So they post every single piece of news about Elon they can find in one place, which is populated only by people who are fed up of hearing about Elon

        The situation confuses me greatly

      All of the "technology" communities and subreddits seem to be nothing but these kinds of articles. I've unsubscribed because I'm seek of seeing this garbage.

        Unfortunately the actions of the man who owns a rocket ship company, an electric car company, and a social media company are, by definition, technology news.

        Everyone wants to bitch about how much Muskrat is in the news, well then, maybe don't let him buy every company you want to get news on.

        "This isn't tech news" it literally is. I hate the fucker as much as the next guy but keeping an eye on his actions is necessary. Letting him run wild with the public turning a blind eye is a recipe for much, much, MUCH more disaster than has already been caused.

        This particular article? Yeah I can't give a shit about Stephen King wishing Twitter had it's old name back. This article is worthless. But news about, for example, Musk buying Twitter, or Musk changing the name of Twitter, or Musk undermining all ability to determine fact from fiction by changing Twitter verification, is extremely important information for your average user.
