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.

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.

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.

I hate this fucking timeline so goddamn much

[–] GeneralEmergency 23 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

Wonder what all the people who voted for this are thinking.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 hours ago

"I guess we're Nazis, too."

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?

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.

How did he make the Nazi salute look somehow even MORE uncool than the -9999999999999999999999 it was already at.

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.

To be fair, the SS had drip. Hugo Boss leather trenchcoats... They looked good while being the absolute worst human beings in modern history.

It's like nobody is even trying to kill him.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 hours ago

He can't wear his kid as a human shield at all times.

[–] Yawweee877h444 35 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 6 hours ago

Are fox, newsmaxxx, and oan covering it as much as they should? Or are they mentioning it once at an off time so they can say “see we covered it” and then never mentioning it when people are actually watching?

Wow. I was willing to believe that the still pictures were just perfectly timed to make it look like something it wasn't. But it totally is a Nazi salute.

Fuck Elon Musk. Knowing I’ll be able to piss on his grave and Trumps grave keeps me going. These fucking fascist need to be fought tooth and nail.

fucking nazi asshole piece of shit

[–] Xanthobilly 4 points 3 hours ago

My grandfather used to kill Nazis. Seems like history is repeating itself.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Wait, are we allowed to call them Nazis yet? Or is it still unnecessary vitriol?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 hours ago

Once they start openly heiling, yeah, that’s allowed.

[–] iAvicenna 72 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (2 children)

Guys you are just too left. Under any other circumstance a nazi salute and flirting eith AfD is considered leftist by a comfortable margin.

[–] [email protected] 52 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

How is this idiot so fucking dumb.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 hours ago

Dumb people have a lot of undeserved confidence in themselves. Smart people are rarely 100% sure if anything because everything is complicated.

Guy caught a lucky break at the right time and thinks he's king shit on turd Island

Not gonna lie, my eyes bugged out when I saw that. I knew masks were falling off, but this was too on the nose even for my expectations

[–] [email protected] 23 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Same. Already? Couldn't wait a single day?

And there are people desperately trying to say he wasn't doing a nazi salute. I refuse to let someone tell me I'm not seeing what's right in front of my eyes.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

Who are you Goin to believe, the mass media or your own lying eyes?!

[–] splonglo 16 points 7 hours ago
