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.

It would be nice if other people joined because of the network effect, but ultimately your decision is about you and what you want. I never used Twitter (the format is terrible for the sort of thing I like to read) but there's an industry I'm morally opposed to and I refuse to support it despite the fact that this makes my life harder while that industry doesn't even notice losing one customer. They do still lose the money I would have spent, and that's a non-zero loss even if they aren't aware of it.
Maybe one day my contribution will be part of a network effect, but even without that I feel like I'm doing the right thing and that's enough for me.
