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.

Whether you want to admit it or not, the guy has a massive negative effect on your life and American society in general due to his outsized platform and influence. People like you would prefer to shame normal people who want even a tiny shred of agency against oligarch billionaires because you believe that simply ignoring them will suffice. It won’t.

Would you have shamed Hitler’s most vocal critics if you were around before WWII?

IMO, voices of dissent against Elon’s toxic, fascist meddling should be amplified and perpetuated because, if he had his way, the US would be a fascist nation.

It's also worth noting that Musk was always this cruel and evil of a person. Modern social media is just making it obvious, at least to some, that this is the case. The more we push out this fact, the better the world becomes.
