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.

this happened with me and mixed martial arts fighters growing up.. and yes i know they make their living getting bashed in the head, but what drew me in was the self discipline and humility aspect of it from a few of the fighters at the top.

one of them was most beloved not only because of how domniant he was but also his kindness and cheerful personality outside of it.. only to find out he lets former controversial brazilian presidential candidate jair bolsonaro live in his USA home.

Yep, seems like it's better not to know, but I also hate having my head in the sand.
