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.

Makes me wonder,

Similar to all the peeps 20 years ago in the SETI@home movement, where you could donate your CPU/bandwidth.

Is there any 'safe' way to donate and collectively protest on the internet by signing up to a botnet?

low orbit ion cannon and friends were tools for participating in anon ddos ops back in the day, but it wasn't exactly safe -- without a vpn your isp and other intermediaries can see your traffic, and the host can see your ip address. with a vpn you're in part dosing your vpn, depending on the attack

no idea how anon organizes such things these days
