Using uBlock Origin, you can add your own filter. This filter will block any post with the text “Elon Musk” (not case sensitive), modify as needed.
lemmy.world##div.post-listing:has(span:has-text("/elon musk/i"))
div.post-listing is the element to block
:has(args) returns elements where args evaluate to true
span is the element with the title text
:has-text(needle) returns the element if it has the next needle, supports regex with \needle\ and remove case sensitivity with i

I wish I could block Elon Musk from reality.
I think he is doing it to himself imho.
Not quickly enough
Better late than never I suppose
Did this with Kim Khardashian on my pc, if I can do it for mobile too that would be lit.
uBlock works on Firefox mobile, filters can be set.
What I really want is a browser plugin that replaces any mention of “Ron Johnson” with “Ron Johnson, THAT fucker”
“Ron Johnson, THAT fucker’s blockade of spending measure puts government shutdown in focus”
There are so many other people that could and should be applicable to.
Too late.
Don’t block them, we need you to help downvote them.
No thanks let the bots have at it at this point.
I just block anyone who posts anything about or containing the word elon…
Sorry op lol
Haha, I forgive you.

Neat! I follow Lemmy communities in an RSS feed so I can just filter right in my RSS reader. It’s pretty nice.
And I heartily encourage people who loathe Elon Musk to do this. Perhaps then it will be easier to discuss subjects like reusable rocketry or electric cars without so much “but the Twitter!” digression.
He’s not designing the rockets, dude. He’s on ketamine posting rot about The Jews. The world does not need Elon Musk to have technological progress.
So doesn’t that make it even more reasonable to not constantly jump in with how awful Elon Musk is when discussing SpaceX’s rockets?
No, fuck him
He’s very much involved in the designing of those rockets. That’s a fact, not opinion
I’m often reminded of a SpaceX render they put up on the 'Tube back when they were still working out the reusability thing. Commenters had a lot of questions about how the particular flight plan impacted on their fuel budget. And so, Elon himself waded in with the answers. Except he was talking about the dollar price it cost to buy the fuel. He was like ‘why are you worried about fuel, it’s not that expensive, guys’ because he didn’t understand the questions. He didn’t understand why the amount of fuel and the mass of the fuel would be significant to anybody. Guys, I think he doesn’t understand the rocket equation. He doesn’t understand the central problem of rocketry. I think the guy might be full of it.
A bunch of ass-kissers and people who don’t work there think he’s an engineering genius are quoted in a Reddit post and you think it’s true.
His rockets suck and his cars suck.

Henry Ford was an antisemitic loon. Should we abandon mass production of cars? Wehrner von Braun was a literal Nazi, should we abandon efforts to land on the Moon?
Elon Musk is a terrible person, yes. But the technologies his companies work on are not affected by his terribleness as a person.
You suppose his terribleness has zero impact on the technologies his companies work on? That is the whole issue of him owning Twitter.
One shouldn’t trust a black box technology (e.g. software) in the first place but even moreso from his companies.
Based on the comments about him online, I find that he is simultaneously in complete control of every aspect of his companies and their technologies, and also an idiot rich kid who bought every company fully-formed and relies entirely on the people he hired to get anything done.
You say that like some mix of seemingly contradictory ideas can’t exist simultaneously. Are you 9?
Do you think someone can be in complete control of every aspect of their companies when they spend all day shitposting on Twitter?
I think some simple logic can tell you which of those is the truth.
Henry Ford was an antisemitic loon. Should we abandon mass production of cars?
Ford should have been forced to step down because of his bigotry. Ford also didn’t control all mass-production of cars. You might have heard of some other companies such as Chevrolet.
Wehrner von Braun was a literal Nazi, should we abandon efforts to land on the Moon?
If we couldn’t do it without the help of Nazis, we shouldn’t have tried. But there were plenty of American rocket scientists too. Robert Goddard pioneered rocket science and he wasn’t a Nazi.
The difference between those two things and now is that those two things happened back when it was acceptable to most people to be out-and-out bigots. Of course no one was going to do anything about them in the era of Jim Crow. It’s 2023. We don’t have to forgive bigots anymore.
