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.

You say that, but history has me concerned.

In the wake of the Reagan grift and our corporate party's conversion of the former worker's party into bribe taking neoliberals into today, our market hyper capitalists got to work metastasizing their model into new regions, in their impossible quest to maintain infinite growth on a finite world.

In Europe The UK fell first. It's practically become a mini greedy us. Germany is embracing it. The French people, bless them, are fighting back but losing. Our oligarchs are creeping accross the globe with the faustian bargain of "Don't you want to live large? Just betray your countrymen and you can live in decadence like you've never dreamed..." It fucking works, just takes a few greedy people in the right positions and a few years.

American style, deregulated market capitalism is a malignant cancer spreading accross the globe turning entire societies against themselves to be picked clean by global oligarchs with allegiance only to themselves and their own net worth.

And I know that you know, capitalists will NEVER STOP in their march to grow/metastasize unless they are physically stopped. There is an invading army advancing around the globe, but they don't kill, they convert people into their own capital batteries, devoid of meaning, subsisting for a small group of sociopaths who see their own species as their private property to extract value from.

It's like the global conquest of the traveling snake oil confidence men of old.

I really hope he doesn't but currently things are sadelylooking kinda good for him. But everyone here really wants him to fail, the Unions have strong support and a lot of people really hate Tesla for what there doing so I believe that the unions will win :)

I think I can say on behalf of all of us Nordic countries that we will rather live without Tesla and Elon than let this lunatic win. We really care that much about our model and care so little about Tesla.
