While replacing a company logo with a shit crypto reference is not petty at all...

He's just having some fun. It doesn't hurt you in any way, and it makes a lot of people chuckle. Lighten up!

Does the anti elon thing hurt you in any way?

No, he's manipulating the crypto market, like he already did before (Doge went up almost 25% since this "change")

The tribal “anti Elon” thing on HN is getting really boring now. This is so petty. Can we move on, please?

I mean, I can see a lot of reasons that people might be irritated by this beyond simple dislike of naughty old Mr Car. Honestly, I think those of us who can't stand him have largely left Twitter at this point.

When I see Twitter I understand that Elon will be never able to reach his dream about Mars. I do not blame him more than rest of the society but I have a strong feeling he made a wrong turn in his life.

It hurted me earlier when Elon was small but used to have a success in everything.

If Doge goes up 25% because some dude changed an icon on some chitchat website, then perhaps Doge is not a serious market worth worrying about.

I kind of like the dog icon, it seems more personable.

Thanks.

I do worry that these might be too general and will block other things?

To block the Doge icon at the top left of the main page I use

twitter.com##.r-lrsllp.r-lrvibr.r-1plcrui.r-bnwqim.r-dnmrzs.r-8kz0gk.r-16y2uox.r-yyyyoo.r-4qtqp9.r-1cvl2hr > g > path

in uBlock Origin. This was created by the Block Element picker.

It does leave a space which your rule doesn't do.
