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.

Memes that would normally require Photoshop are, in my opinion, the only real use case for generative art AI. We all know the billboard isn't real already, and that's the main content of the meme. How would this be better if they grabbed a picture of a real building somewhere and slapped a photoshopped billboard on it?

I hate AI art probably more than most, but here it genuinely seems harmless.

It’s just that we have to look for it instead of just being straight up told it’s a meme, fake.

It would be more meaningful if this photo was real with a real billboard that said this, and without labeling it very obviously people will think it is real.

That will cause people to think things are getting done at a larger scale than they are.
