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.

Money
With Elmo, it's ego. If he cared about money, he wouldn't have offered to buy Twitter for multiples of its actual value.
He offered to buy Twitter for multiple times it's value because he was trying to pump and dump the stock but he somehow did it in the stupidest way possible so he got forced into actually buying it instead of dumping the stock he had already bought. Even his ego move was about money.
He's in the business of selling advertising space. Lies keep eyes on the product through manufacturing outrage.
I don't usually like these cheesy names people give to people who deserve worse but "Musk's Misinformation Machine" kinda has a ring to it with a ringleader inferred

3M, polluting the land.
Interestingly I am having this pushed by Ground News as a "blindspot" article for the left:
All the outlets are Russian or Infowars:
This is the more blatant side of the Russian disinformation campaign to destabilise the UK.
