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.

Remember when the left fought for freedom of speech? When the ACLU would go to court for the Klan's right to march, or for Nazis to be able to speak? When freedoms for everyone actually meant everyone, not just people we like.
edit:
The downvotes here make me sad for freedom of speech and human rights. The left has abandoned free speech.

Freedom of speech! Unless you criticize the governments of Turkey or India. Or give out public information about where Musk's private plane is parked or flying. Or report on that account giving out that information. Or report on the hate speech on Twitter.
Other than that, Musk is entirely in favor of freedom of speech! Until he can come up with another exception.

What exactly does that have to do with Musk's hypocritical stance on "free speech?"
It has to do with what I said.
Which has nothing to do with Elon Musk? You just picked a random thread to rant in?
