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.

Frankly, the more Europe moves away from the US, the less influence the US has in Europe, hence the more likely it is for Europe to retain at least some of its relative prosperity for the many as the American Empire reaches its end of life and is replaced by another one.
Most of the problems Europe has come from copying shit from the American Oligarchy and adopting US Legislation via things like international trade treaties and trade organisations (from ultra-long Copyright periods that completelly break the social contract of Copyright and supra-national Trade Tribunals to the Greed Is Good ideology and the replacement of traditional fairness by wealth-equalization Leftwing thinking with "let's not talk about wealth" pseudo-Equality of Liberalism).
Also, it's well time that Europe stops being dependent on military power of the (still) greatest military power in the World not least because it only lasts as long as there is goodwill from the US side and that's unlikely to survive the death throws of America as an Empire - just look at the decay of the last great Empire - Britain - during the late 19th and early 20th century to see how bad things can get for those dependent on its goodwill.
