Has anyone else been getting these “comments” (see below) by Elon Musk (?) on their blogs? I especially love the one that warns me not to be duped by imposters! Please note the grammar errors such as “celebrating everyone” and “fall into the victim.” What next?


I did, Judy. I was amused.

I did and so did another. We looked into it, but decided to just ignore it in the end.

Yes, I got a couple of these. I went to google or AI or someplace and asked if he ever interacts with WP comments and posts, and it said, never. He might on X twitter, but nowhere else. So I figured it was a troll/spam and deleted them.

I wish there were some way to block this person. I can’t find anyway to erase comments on comments.

Look at Martha’s comment in this chain, Ghost…I finally got him blocked with her instructions..Look at the Admin panel to the left of your screen. On my screen it shows up during comments and is black. At other times it is white and has the headings Dashboard, My Home, Stats, Upgrades..etc. Scroll down to Settings, then click on Discussion, then on Disallowed Comment Keys, and type in Elon Musk.

Here’s a video, Judy. https://youtu.be/MzW7ygvHKuw?si=Pi31Ak4bu27b9lOU
Basically you go to settings, discussion, and scroll down to Comment Moderation. There you can build a list of commenter names you don’t want (Elon Musk for example) and they’ll be held in a queue and won’t appear on your blog unless you approve them. This works for names and url addresses
An even stronger wall is if you scroll down one more and you’ll find Disallowed Comment Keys
There you can list the url addresses or blog addresses of people you don’t EVER want commenting on your blog.
The Happiness Engineers will also help you if you need it.

Judy, I’ve started getting “likes” from “Elon Musk” with a blog name of Elon Musk TESLA Stock Investment, but no comments at this point. Just looked in my spam folder and didn’t find any either. I did not click on the name or the blog name just to be safe.

I don’t know how to block people but any comment can be called spam and deleted or you can withdraw approval for their comments.
