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 are able to do this because they know governments will favor their Money over the needs of the local population.

It's not intentionally evil. Is turn a blind eye evil.

It’s not intentionally evil.

Idk, man. I can't help notice that the city is in a smaller, poor, majority Hispanic region with bad state-level representation and a history of weak environmental protections.

It's intentionally exploitative and callous of the very obvious outcomes of the policy. I'd consider that "evil" in the same way racing an F-350 through a dog park is "evil".

Conservatives: So they must deserve it! Suddenly Joe Rogan is talking about the nuances to driving a truck through dogparks.

Have you been living under a rock for the last ten years or so? These people are very very intentionally evil.

Why not be. Most people apparently won't defend themselves from being oppressed if you spin up some fantastical story to confuse them.
