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 remember learning Bill Gates had $12 billion in the mid 90s and that was like, way too much money for anyone even if they mostly spawned a global industry around the consumer level personal computer.

Goddamn.

I thought it was the Louis Vuitton guy anyway? Or did that change (again)?

Who cares anyway. The list is based on unrealized profit gain that tells nothing about the man and his pay.

Oh yeah, don't get me wrong, I'm very proud to be out of the loop in "who's today's best neoslaver?"

The top spot changes frequently as their investments go up and down and the different individuals aren’t invested in exactly the same things.
