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.

He's not incorrect. Prepending "open" to the name does not make a project open.

But superimposing some contrarian text in Paint is... well, exactly the level of intelligence I would expect from him.

It’s like the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, which is neither Democratic, controlled by the People of North Korea, or a Republic.

And yeah, low-effort shitposting on his own platform is perfectly on-brand for Elon.

Nice, now let’s change “full self driving” to “not even close to full self driving”

I mean, to be fair, both Altman and Musk are complete psychos. Also, people can be objectively correct about something and still be an extremely shitty person.

Sounds like he’s jealous.

Just trying to use muskrat tactics against him.

i wonder if he spent the time editing it himself or if he ordered someone to do it.
