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.

For all the Republicans that aren't Nazis that probably lurk around posts like this. Do you really wanna be on the same side of this argument as these guys? I know you guys are out there because I see comments every now and then. And I know not every Republican is racist or a fascist, but the racists and fascists love this. They're not just trying to defend someone that's on their side, they are excited to see this. You can't accidentally do a Nazi salute just like you can't accidentally get the support of other Nazis. You have to do that shit on purpose.

If there's one thing that should be clear from Trump's reelection it's that there is no limit to what the Republican voters will support.

Anyone who was going to leave the Republicans has probably done so by now. All that's left are the MAGA true believers, single issue voters, the echo chamber dwellers who would be outraged if they were aware of news from the real world, and compartmentalists who block out all warning signs coming from their own side as no true ~~Scotsman~~ conservative supports that stuff and even if they did it's still better than the other side.

And of course, there's also the low information voters who don't know about any of this stuff and just want egg prices to go down or something.
