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 know, history repeats itself. An American billionaire business tycoon is being chummy with a fascist leader. Where have we seen that before? (hint: Henry Ford was buddies with Hitler and Ford subsidiaries still operated and worked for Nazi Germany in spite of the war).

There was also the Business Plot.

It's a travesty that Smedley Butler has all but been erased from history. I once sent Oliver Stone a tweet asking him to write and direct a biopic about the man, but he never replied. Maybe one day someone will.

The Marine Corps keeps his legacy. As one of only two Marines to earn the Medal of Honor twice, it's one of the things they force you to memorize. They yell out "Two Marines, Two Medals" and we'd all scream "Dan Daly and Smedly Butler sir". One of the first required readings I had when I got to my unit was "War is a Racket"; still got the book report somewhere lol
