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.

“‘Super rich ex-wives who hate their former spouse' should filed be listed among 'Reasons that Western Civilization died’,”Musk wrote in a Twitter post referencing Jeff Bezos' ex-wife.

Unlike most philanthropists, who dispense funding for causes that impose specific reporting requirements, Scott has adopted a no-strings-attached approach toward her giving. This has won Scott plaudits from organizations who relish the autonomy she has given them.

Wow. She's actually a decent person. No wonder Musk hates her.

Yes, how dare she spend her own money on whatever she wants??? What is the world coming to???

The world's richest man (who lives in America) talking about "Reasons that Western Civilization died" is almost Shakespearean. This would be a comedy if I wasn't living in it.

Hey he's from South Africa which died for inexplicable reasons. It's a total mystery which he's trying to solve.

This would be a comedy if I wasn’t living in it.

I'm pretty sure life is a tragicomedy

[–] reddig33@lemmy.world 14 points 8 months ago

He is so fucking weird.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 13 points 8 months ago

Richest man in the world and still an incel at heart.

I REALLY (really) wish people would stop posting stories of him...well...anywhere. I feel like with some effort the world could completely forget he exists.

[–] Deceptichum@sh.itjust.works 11 points 8 months ago

Thats a bit of wishful thinking.

All that would happen is the negative news about him would basically stop, and only his supporters would be posting pro-Musk shit.

That would only work if everyone in the world hated the guy and he didn’t have billions to spend on a PR team.

That won't make him go away. In fact, it'll just let him operate covertly. Let him operate in the light where people can see how much of a jackass he is.

It's always the super-rich assholes killing Civilization. They just keep leeching up all the money while crushing anyone who disagrees with them. Eventually the disparity is so huge you wind up with Haiti or some other authoritarian country run by absentee kleptocrats funneling all the money offshore while bleeding every last penny from the impoverished masses.

Fuck this clueless twat.

Hilarious. Projecting and bootlicking another billionaire at the same time

[–] Grass@sh.itjust.works 6 points 8 months ago

Funny how anyone blaming something for the death of western civilization always seems to be pursuing that very thing

[–] Teon@kbin.social 5 points 8 months ago

I don't think an opinion from a misogynist woman hater means much.
Also, this person is living with multiple untreated mental illnesses, so he's not in the best frame of mind to diagnose the problems of the outside world.
Not to mention he's a child who never grew up.
