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.

Nepotism is giving positions of power to your family members, tho

I checked the definition before posting and it was good but I could be wrong.

Doesn't make much sense to me, the way you used it. An example of nepotism might be if you gave your drug dealer a job instead of other candidates just because he is your drug dealer. Doing drugs with employees isn't necessarily nepotism.

That's if he was doing nepotism correctly. Elon is just making the leaders of industry do what ever drugs he is doing.

No, the term for that is..."conducting unlawful activity on company grounds."
