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.

I feel pretty smug about the fact I realised that Musk was a dumb, attention seeking prostitute pretty early. I believe it was around 2015 (?) when he said some shit how AI is about to destroy the world, and He, The Mighty Knight, is there to prevent it™. Or something along the lines. I was never really interested in him, but that immediately sounded like he has no fucking clue what he s talking about
But yeah i didn't see the Nazi thing coming
This is happening almost daily for me, when i read news or overhear people talking at work for example. I'm afraid the next holiday season will be as family destroying as it was in 2016.
Someone said "i did nazi this coming" 3 times in a row, in front of a mirror and cursed the world by turning 50% of its inhabitants into nazis, overnight.
Worldwide, suddenly it's not only ok to be a Nazi, but they are everywhere and taking power.
What is this fucking nightmare?
Invasion of the body snatchers?
They live?
Dawn of the living dead?
The ever present paranoia in movies from that era, was always something eerie to me, something that i couldn't really imagine happening in the world i knew.
I'm starting to relate more and these movies are starting to have a new impact on me, because it kind of is happening right in front of our eyes.
I'm starting to feel the same unease irl.
People i have known my whole life, suddenly nazi. No, really, fuck this shit.
