The first step in “no longer relevant celebrity comes out as conservative to cling to the fringes of stardom.”

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 had no opinions on Katy Perry before this and now I do.
After reading the title, I thought "crap, I should probably know who Katy Perry is." After reading the comments, I don't think I'm going to bother looking them up.
X owner and Tesla founder Elon Musk
Somehow the piece of shit actually gaslit the entire world into thinking he founded anything else then the shit he made.
He found them owned by the people that created them?
Maybe he thinks founded is the past tense of found.

This probably shouldn't surprise me. She was originally a Christian musician before she figured out that she was talented enough to make serious money if she marketed herself on sex appeal.
Which is worse; that she said thank you to Elmo, or that she got a Cybertruck.
Mmmmm. Neither’s doing wonders for her image.
Well, the truck got recalled, ha!
Doesn't stop me from seeing at least 5 of those atrocities every single day
At least five a day? Damn. I’ve yet to see even one. I’ll probably laugh at whoever’s behind the wheel.
California. See them everywhere. And yes I laugh every time. It's so fucking ugly. It just screams. Hey I'm a douchebag with too much money
The most generous possible take is that it's basic politeness to thank someone when they give you a new truck (even if it’s a shitty one). My question, though, is why did he give it to her? Out of all the celebrities he could have given one of those stupid cybertrucks to, why did he choose Perry?
I don’t know much about her. Does she have a history of problematic behavior that would make Musk think she’s a potential ally?
That's only generous if politeness was ever warranted when it comes to Elon Musk. It isn't. Everyone should be rude to him at every opportunity because he has shown himself to be irredeemably atrocious bigot and conspiracy monger.
Squid, you get it. Musk is a thin-skinned hypocrite whose only actual contributions to society are vitriol and debunked ideas, and politeness is more than he deserves.
I read your comment, which seemed sensible. Then I saw the photo she posed for.
Ahh. I hadn’t seen the photo. Yeah, it’s a little much.
Thanks for linking. This is ridiculous but not unexpected from these ilk.
She might just want to die, but doesn't want to promote suicide to her fanbase.
I always though she had the light on but no one is really home.
She married Russell Brand, so she can't be too bright.
She also left him, so, to her credit, it shows she can learn.
Oh, this is new for me.
Wow. I only knew she married Orlando Bloomingonions. He seems just as whacko, just of a different kind.
Every half-decade gets the Grimes it deserves
Katy Perry is still a thing?
Not anymore
Whenever I'm angry, I like to watch this clip of Katie Perry getting absolutely rocked with slime at the Nickelodeon awards.
Too bad, I liked her in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
I can't tell if you're joking or not, but that's Zooey Deschanel.
Pretty sure there is a meme about them looking the same.
Yeah, that's why I can't tell if they're joking or serious...
'Your Highness' got a few laughs from me, and keira knightly did pretty OK in it as well
The first was Grimes, now it's Katy Perry... Who will be the next singer I'll stop to listen to?
