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.

The US government doesn't prohibit Nazi's from marching, nor does it silence them. So... What the fuck are you talking about?
The reason these types don't do this more is because most people fucking abhore them. Free speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences, or universal tolerance... It just means the government isn't allowed to silence their citizens.
There are exceptions to this when it comes to public safety (e.g. Yelling "FIRE" in a public theater), but overall the US holds firm on allowing people to say and do what they want.
In Musk's case, he doesn't support anything even remotely resembling free speech. He is constantly being called out for silencing people and organizations he disagrees with. He keeps trying to pretend he's not doing this by projecting his own brazen actions on the very people he's attacking. It's a very Trump-esque technique, and it can be very effective among dumb and impressionable people.

I have no idea what you're trying to say here... Care to elaborate?
