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.

Dead bird in hand is worth $44B

That not what it’s worth, that’s what a certain idiot paid for it.

Current estimates are that it’s worth $10-15B right now. Possibly less if he destroys the last shards of brand equity by rebranding the site.

I think one of the banks that’s holding a good chunk of his debt estimated twitter lost 2/3 of its value since purchase.

I'd like to know more about who at these banks thought investing in Twitter at $44 B was a good idea.

dead bird in hand is worth one awful lunch if burning

What are you talking about? A bird in hand is worth two in a bush.

Now you have 3 dead birds of no value. But that first one was definitely worth the 2 in the bush.
