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.

Wikipedia was edited two days ago to add that in

Not true, I picked a random revision of the Wikipedia article from October 2022, and it already had the part about 1875:

ISO 8601:2004 fixes a reference calendar date to the Gregorian calendar of 20 May 1875 as the date the Convention du Mètre (Metre Convention) was signed in Paris (the explicit reference date was removed in ISO 8601-1:2019).

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=ISO_8601&oldid=1118165613

I'm pretty sure this has been in the Wikipedia article for even longer, considering that it dates back to 2001. I'm just too lazy to go through the entire history and check when it was added. But definitely not 2 days ago.

Edit: I also just googled "ISO 8601 2004", found this PDF: https://dotat.at/tmp/ISO_8601-2004_E.pdf

Under 3.2.1 "The Gregorian calendar" it says:

The Gregorian calendar has a reference point that assigns 20 May 1875 to the calendar day that the “Convention du Mètre” was signed in Paris.

The Wikipedia article is correct, this wasn't added 2 days ago, and I don't know why you're spreading misinformation.

Another edit: A brief look at your profile explains everything...

Yet another edit: I checked the Wiki article using WikiBlame:
The part about 1875 was added to the article in 2004. Not 2 days ago. This is a blatant lie.
