    I’ve seen a Firefox plugin called block the rich… I guess it wouldn’t fly if they called it block Elon

    Not used it so don’t know if it’s any good

          Does it block the word “Musk”? Is it case-sensitive? Honestly curious, especially since some of these last names can refer to either the person or a noun.

            What ever would we do without updates on technological marvels such as:

            • Fraudulent car
            • Fraudulent train
            • Low-poly cosplay truck
            • Animal abuse brain microchip
            • Kepler syndrome ISP
            • Self-destructing rocket to mars
            • Social media for Nazis?

              The car is fine, and honestly the software is too, it’s the label that’s the problem. It’s like if Tesla had invented the first really good cough medicine but named it “Death Cure Resurrection Elixir (and cough preventative)” and they have this mustache twirling clown villain selling it.

              I don’t blame anyone for completely disregarding it as fraud.
