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.

For those who don't get the reference, she's calling him a literal NAZI.
Thank you! I came here to say this.

Wow, what a load of crap. I wonder if Musk really talked about that stuff, which would be taking his shittiness to the next level.
He talks about it openly. "Falling birthrates" and "the great replacement" are dog whistles for "white genocide". They're talking about how "the white race" is going to "lose" because the white people are outnumbered by people of color.
It's such garbage. I'm not sure why anyone cares about anyone else's skin tone. I'm lilly white, but I wouldn't care at all if everyone in the world was an even brown at some future time. Why would I?
A lot of people cope by convincing themselves they're innately "better" than some outgroup. For some people it's music taste, for some people it's skin color, etc. A lot of it is subtle bigotry learned during childhood from media and parents. Elon grew up in apartheid South Africa with a father who owned part of an emerald mine, I feel like that could explain a lot.
There's also something to be said about the addictive nature of conspiracy theories. Elon was always a "wacky guy" or whatever but there was definitely a point where he went from a typical rich dick to whatever the fuck this is and he seems like he's pretty far down the "aliens built the pyramids" to "jewish people run the world" pipeline.

smobserved.comHe's already there.
white supremacy is deeply ingrained in US history and culture. It's what the country has been about for 100s of years, it's why the US committed genocide, it's why lynching was a family picnic affair. It's not going to slowly fade away. If it isn't explicitly stamped out, it's here to stay.
Oh. Those 14 words. I thought there was another set of words specifically against child free people.
I appreciate you remembering not everyone is tuned into this stuff to the same degree. I just immediately thought “oh, he’s a nazi? That scans” when I saw the 14 words reference.
