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.

I cannot fathom choosing to spend my time doing anything like this if I was the richest man on planet earth.

I would be stoned outta my gourd relaxing in the countryside with some ex model and listening to music or something.

I sure as shit wouldn't be arguing on the Internet with degenerate twitch streamers that can't even bother to pay for a maid even though they are a multi-millionair.

Elon is a sad pathetic man that currently wields entirely too much power.

You don't need to be the world's richest man to do that. You can live the life, for the rest of your life, with a couple million (nowadays maybe a couple tens of millions). To have that much and still want more you'd have to either be incredibly greedy, power hungry or insecure

You wouldn't be the richest man on earth though. That's a process of very selfish immoral steps you wouldn't take. People that reach that sphere are psychopaths that have the intrinsic need to feel superior.

Having that much money is literally just bad for your brain.
