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 ADL is defending him. Bootlickers.
Just when I thought the ADL couldn't be anymore useless, here's REAL Anti-Semitism and they're not doing anything about it.
They just figure that this time, Jews will be far down enough on the list of "first they came for..." that MAGA will burn itself out before it gets to them.
That's sadly a viable strategy if you're cis.
the ADL
Anti-Defamation League, a Jewish non-governmental organization based in the USA
... will now be known as the "Advanced Defamations League"
Are their last words going to be "see? You were overreacting." right before someone pushes a button on their gas chamber?
Or have they already booked their tickets to some recently-confiscated house in the West Bank?
Fuck the ADL
I was on the fence about them for past shenanigans but this is the final nail in the coffin. My friends are now telling me that musk did not, in fact do a Nazi salute because his fingers weren't pointed the right way
Ask your friends why they're so familiar with the proper performance of the nazi salute.
Point one finger upwards at their face.
Same ADL that says anti-genocide protests are categorically foreign agents funded by Iran and Hamas.
You guys are lucky to have AOC. I'm a non-American that only knows her from memes and screenshots like this but I'm a fan. Especially compared to all the other dead fish.
Well, get ready for a whole lot of gaslighting. He’s going to say that’s not what he was doing and his lil army of trolls are going to toe the line.
Spot on. We all know exactly what we saw. But...
“This is just a distraction from [the class war / taxes / Russia / China / the Koreas / India / ... ]!”
“Allegedly, he seemingly did a gesture that resembles a fascist salute. He could've been having a heart attack and pointing at a paramedic. You don't know.”
“It’s a tic. He’s had it since he was a child. I read about it on this random screenshot of a news article from 2018.”
“The Roman Salute, as it is known amongst historians, can be seen in many statues. Here’s a link to one. Things have history, Alex. God. Not everything is nazis.”
“So his views are a little extreme. Most people would argue they’re vile. I certainly don’t agree with them, but people. Please. Civility and decorum must rule. I’d fight for his right to blahblahblah..."
"I'm sorry; we can't hear you over our Economic Anxiety. Groceries are too expensive and people are homeless! That's why we elected nazis. Please be more understanding of our extra special circumstances and ignorance."
"It's legal to do that in the USofA. Where is it not legal? Germany? Interesting! Gosh their freezepeach laws are a bit restrictive, eh? Controlling how we move our bodies? Sounds like something a nazi would want."
And on. And if you engage with it, they'll just turn on some kind of AI bot thingy to continue the "conversation," taking up even more space online.
So he literally turns around and does it a 2nd time.
How can anyone deny it now? There's no way this is coincidence, like he's just really awkward with gestures and was bad at throwing his hand in the air to the crowd. This can't be explained away.
Wtf bullshit argument or defense is he and his supporters going to spew out?
They all say he's such a genius, but he's unaware of how close this gesture is to a nazi salute? There's no way this can be defended. It's just too obvious.
How can anyone deny it now?
Easy. Bad faith.
I hate this fucking timeline so goddamn much
So heil Hitler it is, now?
Granted, I never thought he'd get this far, but I've been saying for nearly a decade now that Musk is a lucky scammer who will do anything if it benefits himself.
I wonder how many people are left of the original musk groupies that thought musk was so cool and was going to save the world.
Do you still believe? Are you still that stupid?

Nope.
On the bright side, if we're remarking on history's propensity for repetition, consider how much the odds have just gone up that Elon's personal timeline now ends doused in gasoline and set alight in a ditch, like a pasty, doughy little pile of garbage.
Wonder what all the people who voted for this are thinking.
"Oh cool, we don't have to hide it anymore"

At least it's all over the news, seems like literally every news organization is reporting on it, even small ones.
Show everyone what these idiots voted for.

It's like nobody is even trying to kill him.
He can't wear his kid as a human shield at all times.
How did he make the Nazi salute look somehow even MORE uncool than the -9999999999999999999999 it was already at.
To be fair, the SS had drip. Hugo Boss leather trenchcoats... They looked good while being the absolute worst human beings in modern history.
Because he made it with the expression of a 16 year old in furious heat.
Dork MAGA continues to live up to the name, and it would be funny if people weren't losing their lives over it.
