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.

We've had GamerGate, we've had GamerGate 2.0 with SBI...
Will we get ElonGamerGate?
I cannot believe how stupid this is, but its quite clear that stupid bullshit drama about videogames and the surrounding commentary community ... is actually a major force in shaping the politics of people roughly under 40.
Remove the "gamer"
Elongate
It's definitely an odd one, but hey, if Path of Exile is the thing that gets many people to go "hey, he's a liar", I'll certainly take it.
More than happy to see this story spread, as it's hilarious enough to spread virally, but also makes Musk look pathetic and like a compulsive liar.
I mean, seriously, he's the richest man on earth, why is his ego so fragile as to need to "prove" himself as a gamer, and to need to prove that so badly as to take a risk like faking that accomplishment live.
it's certainly a great distraction for people with short attention spans.
Sorry what?
I was playing Subway Surfers.
