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.

They still get funded. Just not by the government.

This is like saying "Stop donating to PBS!" I'm not sure that's what Musk intends, though. He probably believes they are funded by tax dollars, because he suffers from the stupid.

I had a conservative professor bitch about PBS funding in the middle of talking about how awesome their programs on a certain poet's life were.

At a state school.

Those who can't do, teach.

Those who can't teach, teach gym.

Those who can't teach gym, teach 20th century English literature at a state college.

Only shitheads attack teaching itself as a profession, be better even in jest.
