Lol, that's some real convoluted copism you have going on there.

A. musk's "yup" was an amplification of the xit attacking the article in question. That makes it an attack. That's how xitter works.

B. The point is that DOGE is the epitome of inefficiency. It's cutting too much while the results are too little.

C. musk's xit attack got >19k re-xits and >200k licks (xit-lickers gotta lick) causing us to see this. What's the responsibility of all the xit-lickers? How is that a little thing being made into a big deal?

D. Even if the title is hyperbolic (which I don't agree it is) 15 people on lemmy upvoting it to fight the fascist tyranny and lies spouted by musk and his xit-minions doesn't "need to stop". He needs to be kept in ckeck and that can't be done on platforms owned by billionaires. If nothing else, it's important to spread the word that musk is unable to understand the concept that something can be both too much and too little. What a genius.
