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.

There is no such thing as a "neutral carrier" for social media. It's a made-up concept used to pretend that a social media site isn't allowed to be partisan.
There are zero legal ramifications for making Twitter as partisan as musk wants.
Funny how the "free speech" guy bought Twitter and made it more biased and authoritarian than it has ever been.
Sure, he's an asshole and a hypocrite. But there's nothing "illegal" about it.
This is literally every "free speech" guy, with the possible exception of Julian Assange.
Which part of “free speech (for me)” is hard to understand?
Authoritarian? Definitely.
More biased? Be real, It's just as biased, but just in the other direction post-musk.
I really don't feel like it was extremely biased to the left before lol.
I dunno, I think it was pretty blatantly one sided. I have to assume most people who agree with the bias don't tend to see it around them though.
I just remember arguing with wacko right wingers more then I liked lmao. Here we have a photographer getting banned, on old Twitter you had Alex Jones (and that took many years) or people literally throwing out casual violence who got banned.
That's definitely fair.
