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.

Musk would be doing much better as a billionaire if he just kept his mouth shut.
And not do boneheaded moves like rebranding Twitter to X.
Let's take a household name that most companies would kill for to get that sort of everyday recognition and change it to the most generic shit ever and get rid of the Tweety bird. Marketing disaster.
He could just retire and live a life of luxury. But he craves power as well as money.
It's true he craves power but more than anything he craves validation that he's a cool smart dude, which he really isn't.
Very true. He wants people to love him and anyone who doesn't is scum. Trump is the exact same way.
