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.

Elon Musk brags about being a top video game player. Is caught lying. (www.youtube.com)

Elon has been going around running his mouth about being one of the world's top Path of Exile 2 players. Then he was dumb enough to stream his gameplay to "show off his skills" and everyone saw that he doesn't even understand the basic mechanics of the game, strongly suggesting that he has been paying someone to level up his character for him.

Just one more example of Elon Musk taking credit for someone else's work.

Thinking he could pull this off (and doubling down after having been called out) is definitive proof that wealth has literally broken Elon's brain. He is verifiably less emotionally stable, less self aware, less intelligent, and less in touch with reality than the average person. Hell, even wanting this sort of validation in the first place is proof he's broken. If anyone in his life still sincerely cares about him, they should be concerned for his well-being.

This is what he's been doing the whole time, it's only backfiring now because his audience actually knows a lot about videogames as opposed to running a company or rocket science.

I suspect he surrounds himself with people that won't tell him he's wrong because they want to continue to suckle the Elon teat. He likely lives in an echo chamber and there are people who "protect" him from seeing criticism.

Hell, even if I was one of his kids, I wouldn't say shit about it.
