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.

Thanks.

This made me wonder about another doomsday cult: Is the Heaven's Gate website still up? I had to go check, and yes, it is!

Edit: Oh I remember seeing an editorial some years back complaining that people using the expression "Drink the Kool-Aid" was disrespectful to the members of the cult that perished (even though it was Flavor-Aid). Kind of an interesting read. Holy cow, I found it, really quickly.

Lol, I'm only marginally familiar with that death cult, but is that first sentence there because an earlier version of their claims included a companion comet whose existence was either disproven or brought into question? That sentence just screams "the goal posts have been moved on something we used to think is important but now wish to downplay".
