For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.

No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.

Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.

Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.

Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.

Completely off topic. Shouldn't it be "couldn't care less" as there is no possible way for you to care less than you do about the topic. Over "could care less" stating that you do care and you could actually care less, we don't know how much you currently care, but we can assume it's more than 0.

Not trying to be pedantic, generally interested in the right phrasing as I've heard both and that's how I personally interrupt it.

It is correctly spoken as "couldn't care less" but dumbasses who don't think about what words mean changed it to "could care less" to the point that this is basically the idiom, as idiotic and nonsensical as it is.

Honestly, I don't know lol. I didn't put a lot of thought into it. You are probably right.

People get really balled up about that. It's funny to me. I think:

  • Couldn't care less <- Absolutely lowest level of care
  • Could care less <- It's possible to care less, but I still don't care much
