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.

Why would he make a social media account under a fake name, instead of using his real name but make everyone think it's an unverified parody account to say whatever he wants and never get suspected?

It's not that bloody difficult.

Yes, however you see the issue here is that you have an IQ higher than room temperature water, and muskrat does not.

That is so profoundly pathetic. My mouth fell open.

The extreme psychological issues behind using an alt account to try and soothe his own ego about his obvious shortcomings as a father, are in dire need of professional help.

Elon needs a quality shrink and far, far fewer ketamine self-medicating sessions.

He's wanted his kids a lot closer, physically, after the Luigi incident. It makes sense he's literally wearing one on his back. More surprising that he hasn't strapped one to his front as well.

Edit: note his self praise here is from 12 months ago. Didn't mean to be misleading.

Is this real? If so, this is the saddest thing I’ve seen in a very long time.

The guy needs actual help. But bad luck for us: instead he’ll tear down American democracy.

I'm glad that such a mature, well-adjusted person is running my country right now.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Hey, he bought and paid for it fair and square. He can run it into the ground as hard and fast as he wants.

See also: Twitter (and no I'm not calling it x that's fucking stupid)

Fr tho, who the fuck claims to have a 'favorite letter' to even begin with? Talk about the cringelord final boss...

This kind of behavior is alarming. When this mFer crashes and burns he's taking as many people with him as possible. Maybe even all of western civilization.

[–] drmoose 26 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Makes you wonder what other stupid shit he's up to that we don't know of yet. Man is completely deranged and it would be sad if it wasn't so dangerous.

I mean, blocking Ukrainians from using Starlink at key moments at the request of Putin is surely a start.

DSM5 needs to add Petty ~~Manchild~~ Adultchild Disorder as a recognized mental health issue so these people can get the help they deserve.

Hadn't he already done that multiple times?

[–] [email protected] 43 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I don't know because I don't keep up on every little detail, but this is the first time I've heard of him using a voice changer in a voice chat. I've seen multiple instances of him using alt accounts to just write text though.

Adrian Dittmann, the one replying to Musk in this tweet, is apparently Musk's alt account.

Doesn't he have enough money to just pay people to setup friendly accounts? I hate Musk's ass, but if he wants to put me on his payroll to kiss his ass on the internet, I'm for sale. $200k/year and I will sing his praises far and wide.

[–] Saprophyte 19 points 3 days ago (4 children)

He'll get someone on an H1B Visa to do it for $45k

Alright, I just woke up so I might not see the obvious, but apart from the almost surreal butt licking, what is the sign (proof?) here that this Dittman's account is actually Elon's? Sorry, I have never used Twitter or X.

[–] [email protected] 116 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (14 children)

He made a lot of critical errors because he doesn’t understand that for a sock puppet to be effective in the long run, it has to do 3 things:

  1. it has to post regularly

  2. it has to post differently than you do. If it disagrees with you broadly that’s even better.

  3. It can only show up in your defense at critical moments and with almost visible hesitancy e.g. “I am a huge critic of Musk, especially on [issue A], but on this [Issue B] I actually think he makes a salient point.”

You get the most use out of sock puppets by letting them moderate your position to make it more palatable to the public without actually having to moderate your position.

Anything less than the 3 above makes it a liability. Especially when you sloppily juggle several.

This link where he’s playing Dittman and he says something along the lines of “her problem was clearly not with the product but with Elon because I was the first thing she posted about.

Also, in this article’s sound clip, you can hear the similarities. Elon was not on this call, that was “Dittman”.

[–] [email protected] 67 points 4 days ago (1 children)

So he hasn't even the mental capacity to keep an act up, without his narcissism interfering?

Wow... let that sink in...

Adrian sounded exactly like him, he bragged about paying the most taxes of anyone, and when he got exposed other people went and listened to other archived spaces he was involved with and a couple of times in $TSLA chats he slipped up and used "we" and "I" statements referring to Musk and Tesla. Elon is known to and has been proven to use alt accounts on Twitter, and consider the subsequent bans, if it's not him why is he so sensitive.

I learned a long time ago that anyone who calls themselves a "great" anything (and has to resort to such childish tactics to perpetuate the myth) is anything but.

There's a Spanish saying for that: "dime de qué presumes y te diré de qué careces"

Tell me what you brag about and I'll tell you what you lack.
