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.

True story: I've heard a few idiots trying to tell me that it's how they say "hello" in the USA. I'm not American but I'm sure that I've never seen anyone saying hello like that in the movies.
Lifelong USAian, it's never ever been how we say hello, it's always been how you say "Hello, I'm a Nazi."
Born and bred middle-aged American here, who's lived in all four corners: nobody uses this to say "hello" except for Nazis.
Lived in the states for a while, saw zero nazi salutes. Maybe no one actually said hello to me the entire time, sob.
They are, in fact, idiots. There is an outstretched arm hello to people driving by, but there is zero fucking chance this nazi salute is it.
