Enough Musk Spam
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.

To some of the comments:
When a black person does a bad thing, we never question their blackness. If an LGBTQ+ person does a bad thing, we never question their LGBTQ+-ness. If a Muslim does a bad thing, we never question their Muslimness.
If a Christian does a bad thing, they're not a Christian. If they're rich, we bring up the parts of the Bible about how the rich won't get to heavens. If they're hateful, we bring up Christ's love. If they're violent, we bring up the "other cheeck" line.
We need to stop whitewashing Christianity, and realize the evil its capable of in the wrong hands. That's how we got the dominionist cult into the most powerful country, and that's how we got Putin, Orbán, etc., and will continue to get others if we dont change our outlook on things.
