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.

Doesn't he have enough money to just pay people to setup friendly accounts? I hate Musk's ass, but if he wants to put me on his payroll to kiss his ass on the internet, I'm for sale. $200k/year and I will sing his praises far and wide.

He's got literally no humans or animals that like him irl. He already is paying people for this job. He bought Twitter to be his friend so he could spend all his free time on there which is a lot and it won't look as weird since he owns it. Guys brain is more cooked than a nfl player with cte.

He bought Twitter because he wanted to pump the stock up, presumably so that he could dump his stock. The timeline is that Elon talked about taking Twitter private, paying 420$ per share, because 420 is the funny marijuana number. Twitter's board then agreed to the buyout, since Elon's offer was far more than what the company was actually worth. Elon tried to weasel out of the deal, but Twitter successfully sued him to force him into buying Twitter.
