Hey folks -

The seemingly never-ending flood of Musk/Twitter news and commentary is getting to some of our users (and some of the mods, too), so we’ve decided to create a general Megathread for all things related to Elon Musk and X/Twitter.

This thread will be a general Musk catch-all, so we’re including news about Musk acting the fool as related to any of his companies (SpaceX, Tesla, Boring). News about those companies that don’t involve Elon can be posted outside this thread.

    So the solution is to all but ban any discussion of him or his companies, all of which are pretty important topics, particularly in US tech news?

    I can’t stand the dude, he’s garbage. I wish he’d fade out of the limelight and let smart people take his companies forward. But to functionally ban any discussions because he’s too present is a big over-correction.

      I don’t agree with it, I’d prefer people use filters (most clients seem to support them).

      Or people could go on the other hundreds of websites that exist and talk about him there?
