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 dont believe that.
Buying twitter was his ego getting the better of him. Once he came to his senses he tried every which way to get out of the deal. But he couldn't. He had to buy it.
Hanlon tought us: Never account to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. Buying twitter was never really thought trough. It was a joke, a meme. Something never meant to be taken seriously. He was sure he could alter the deal. But he couldn't. Instead he instead of Lando was left with the clown's shoes, unicycle and ballerina outfit.
Ever since he's trying to recuperate something, anything. And nothing seems to work, everything he does only backfires. It seems he's embracing the backfire now. Musk being musk, that isn't something he does without a plan.
The question is... What's the plan. And this explanation seems plausible.
And by the way: he's still just doing this for shit and giggles. He's having fun, first and foremost. He's giving us all the finger. Look at that guy during that interview. Everything he says and does is very deliberate. He enjoys his trolling.
To him this isn't real money. He can piss it through the toilet and it would never ever result in any consequence whatsoever for him.
He can lose 90% of his worth and would still be insanely impossibly rich.
I think its great that we disagree, but I also think Hanlon would be surprised by the extant degree of malice out there. Shits piling up.
