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.

The only infuriating thing about this is the fact that people are too addicted to Twitter to leave it.

The things that happen there don’t surprise me in the slightest.

The B-list celebs will never give up their’000s of followers.

I'm not even a Z-list and I had 10k followers at one point.

I was also addicted. Glad I left.

So he's gone from claiming to be a "free speech absolutist" to clarifying much later that, "by “free speech”, I simply mean that which matches the law. I am against censorship that goes far beyond the law," and now he's just abandoning that.

And none of his sycophants will even notice or care.

A right-wing idiot saying something and then doing the opposite of it completely? Well that doesn't happen every day of the god damn year. /s

Turns out the traitor was a frequent flier to Epstein's rape island. No surprise to anyone paying attention to the acts of that filthy child rapist.
