        On Reddit I’ve found most of the billionaire news in tech subs is posted by only handful accounts, they also don’t post other interesting things, so you can just block them.

        I’m hoping that’ll work on Lemmy as well.

    Whatever he says is meant to either feed his ego or his coffers. So just assume lie, exaggeration or straight lunacy. I don’t even know why anyone gives him 2m. Whatever he’s ever said about tech, he’s been either somewhat or totally out to lunch.

    i suggest you treat him like a hostile, manipulative entity, and assume that nothing comes out of that mouth straight… imagine that everything he says is coming from Isengard… it’ll help you…

    Yes. Stop covering them unless they actually do something of importance to the public.

    I could not care less about what dumb shit Musk said. To me it has no more weight than what a random person on a bus stop says.

    Actually here’s the benchmark, if it’s something that wouldn’t be covered if it was said/done by a random man on the street, then don’t cover it if it’s said/done by musk.

    I wish we changed to just not cover him at all. It is insanely hard to ignore reading about his inane activities.

    You don’t. Not everything he does and says is newsworthy. Those who are really interested follow him in socials anyway.

    Stop reporting on what he wants you to, and instead report what he doesn’t.

    How about we start right now? Just don’t post anything related to him until it’s actually confirmed to be actually happening and not just him shitposting.

    So it’s not going to be a sports fight, but rather a competition in ‘juggling with lies and false promises’.

    Guess who’s the one who has more experience in that field?
