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.

hiring professionals to watch his diet and whatnot,

This is the part that is such a head-scratcher for me. He clearly cares about his outward appearance thanks to the million-dollar hair transplant and whatever meds he's on to keep it that way. But the rest? Yeah, I thought daily personal training, custom-built menus, personal chefs, and a personal assistant to keep that circus moving, were just SOP for rich bastards like this. It would seem that impulse and lack of foresight are traits that impact everything.

Alternatively, maybe what we're seeing is peak performance for Musk as an organism, and his overall health is actually way worse than we think.
