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.

That's the spirit! Let this become a trend. Let Musk become what he fears the most: a genuine laughing stock.

He’s poison for every company he touches.

Twitter used to be somewhat fun & useful. Now it’s absolutely garbage.

SpaceX is doing great things, but the fact they he gets credited for their accomplishments & innovations casts a dark shadow over all of it.

Tesla could have been the next great American automaker, but with him at the helm it’s hard to justify buying one.

SpaceX is not doing well. They are taking money for a moonshot that according to their own data will take 37 flawless refueling launches in a month to get the fuel up to the craft that will go to the moon. They are a space elevator company that charges more than the Russians charge.

My guess is that they are more than 15 years away from lunar trip without even a landing.
