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.

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

My friend is friends with/works for this old lady (70s) that is a "holistic practitioner" and believes in all of this shit, and he believes in a fair amount of it too.

Last night he called her from his smartphone and told her that he needs her to order him a Lightning to Ethernet dongle for his iPad "because that's the only way to not get fried by the EMF".

I just sat there and chuckled to myself because I know there was no point in arguing with him.

When they're that far gone, there's no point trying to bring logic into the discussion. You just shrug and agree to disagree.

I've gotten into it before with him because I find it funny, but didn't feel like it at the moment.
