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.

"don't care if its fake or not"
Boy this sounds familiar. It's exactly the same mentality that made people stick with Trump.
This kind of nonsense erodes the valid criticism. How many times do people say "Look at the idiot Trump supporters, they're all hung up on something that didn't even happen." Or how people make fun of the AI generated shirtless Trump pictures.
Everyone here is actively participating in that, but you're changing the rules because you don't like this guy. All the things you said about them they are now saying about you. And they are right.
I'm not pro-Elon, he sucks. But I want to keep the limited attention that people have laser focused on his actual words and actions, not this dumb shit.
I have no problem getting in the mud. You can keep fighting your virtuous battle, ill keep fighting mine
