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.

LMFAO, you can keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel any better, but he could lose both tesla and twitter and still be one of the richest and most powerful people to have ever lived, who wouldn't have to ever work again even if he lived a thousand years more..
This article 100% a distraction that serves to make the oblivious and/or wilfully ignorant feel sorry for him and/or look at others while he keeps finding more ways to fund and grow fascism wherever he goes..
Honestly.. ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
Stephanie Sterling once said that he could be considered a god with all the power our society lets him have.
He has absolutely no frame of reference of what it is like to be an actual human with bills to pay and chores to do.
Which is what make dunking on him so satisfying. I can't hurt Bill Gates' feelings by making mean memes about him. But Musk reacts to people being mean to him.
But this isn't "dunking on him" it's bullshit designed to give people a false sense of security and a dopamine hit, while he goes on to do whatever the fuck he likes which is already costing millions of lives (via him hoarding hundreds of billions alone, as foes Gates, who is just as dangerous, if not more, because people like you have been convinced that he's benign, never mind the direct results of his operations).
You're being just as childish as him, except he has all the power of the world to fall back on, and you have probably fuck all in the grand scheme of things and are fighting to survive along with the rest of us. Getting him to react to this bullshit achieves nothing, you've been given bread and a circus, and it's working exactly as intended to keep you paying any real attention.
I agree that it doesn't achieve anything... But jeez, let people have their fun. It's not like anybody confuses this shit with actual activism.
I'm afraid people kind of do
