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.

I mean that's a story. Its not the one I believe, and I don't think my reasoning is that convoluted. Elon had to sell something to his backers and the argument that controlling these platforms is how you control the social fabric of the US is what I would have done for a pitch.
Like, he probably should have figured out Trumps contractual obligations to Truth social. Should we lay down a gentleman's bet on Twitter acquiring Truth social in the next 12 months? If he can deliver an election for the Saudis, it will have been well worth it from their perspective.
