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.

You might recall that Elon Musk claims to hate taxpayer subsidies. They should all be “deleted.” Except for the subsidies given to his companies (sometimes for doing nothing), of course.

Yeah, I totally get that. Give me $46 billion or I won't be motivated any more either.

It is really hard to grasp, we understand it, Elon.

'Sad Day for Free Speech': Media Matters Layoffs Follow 'Thermonuclear' Attack by Elon Musk

"This is how free speech is actually chilled—vengeful dipshit billionaires," said one media executive, after more than a dozen staffers let go from nonprofit watchdog whose mission is to combat right-wing disinformation and propaganda.

You can tell it’s true by, uh, some of the facts

Her reputation is on the line. The Delaware ruling blasted Denholm for a “lackadaisical approach” to governance and suggested her objectivity had been compromised by “life-changing” sums of money. She made $280mn selling Tesla shares in 2021 and 2022 alone, dwarfing the earnings of peers at the likes of Apple and Google.

. . . “To me, the role of the chair is really to make sure the board has a good relationship with the CEO and the executive team,” she said. “We’re there on behalf of shareholders to make sure that management is doing their job, and their job is primarily to grow shareholder value over time.”

Musk has attracted controversy over his drug use, openly admitting to medicinal use of ketamine and smoking marijuana during a live interview. But Denholm said reports in the Wall Street Journal that Musk had also taken LSD, cocaine, ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms at parties, and that Tesla board members were privately concerned, were “absolute BS . . . I have been around this company for 10 years and I have never seen any evidence”.

I don’t know who she thinks she’s fooling.
