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.

What's with the jacket thing he has been wearing for the last while? Trying to create a specific look like a certain famous German did back in the day?

I just saw this on Bluesky.. It's funny and sad at the same time!

[–] Taco2112 13 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Death Maul was cool, I get more Wormtounge vibes from Musk.

[–] AngryCommieKender 3 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

At least Wormtongue in the movie killed Sauroman. Leading to the famous discussion between Christopher Lee and Peter Jackson about what a man sounds like when you stab him in the back.

For those not in the know Christopher Lee stabbed Nazis in the back, because of this, he knew what it sounds like when your lungs are punctured

Speaking of, I've literally never seen him with one of his children until Luigi and then I saw a photo from this same event:

He is quite literally using that child as a human shield isn't he?

[–] [email protected] 28 points 6 hours ago

Oh yeah absolutely, like literally the next day he started doing it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 hours ago

Yeah, Elon Musk should take the middle seat so Donald Trump could tower over him

Whomever told me to watch ...

DARK GOTHIC MAGA: How Tech Billionaires Plan to Destroy America

... yeah this is disturbing and depressing.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 hours ago

Got a tldr? Or watch in this case

[–] YarHarSuperstar 3 points 10 hours ago

This is so much worse than I ever could've imagined it would be

[–] [email protected] 59 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

We're literally living in a movie plot right now... "Evil billionaire attempts to overthrow a government and use it for global domination."

If this were a movie the bad guys would be obvious to everyone, but since we have the scum of the earth: propagandists, it's harder for a not insignificant portion of the country to realize it...

Yes I hate Trump and Musk, but even more I fucking loath the fox news primetime peanut gallery and the like, the Hannity's, Ingram's, Carlson's, etc... I wish nothing but the most excruciatingly painful slow deaths on them for what they've done to the population.

[–] AngryCommieKender 3 points 1 hour ago

Even in the movies the bad guys have minions. They don't know their boss is that evil. Here in real life, I'm pretty sure they know and are actively promoting it.

[–] danc4498 2 points 3 hours ago

I think the bigger problem than cable news is social media. Billionaires get to decide the lense through which everybody sees the world. And social media makes that lense appear clear and unobstructed, but it’s very much distorted to benefit the people in power.

[–] HappySkullsplitter 103 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

Looks like he wanted to wear this but couldn't find it

[–] HappySkullsplitter 21 points 14 hours ago

It's coming

It's still at ze tailor

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod 9 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

He is and always will be a goofy edgelord, no matter how much money he has

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Balding goofy edgelord.

I do not mean that as an insult to our follicularly challenged brothers and sisters. I merely wish to have him reminded we know he paid for that hair, purely because his fragile little ego cracks every time he sees that old picture of himself in the public domain.

And I am totally here for that.

Whoa. Talk like that may get you sent to Gitmo. Anyway, which picture are you talking about? Asking for the guy down the road.

Jafar had way more rizz

His beard was so… twisted

[–] OldChicoAle 5 points 12 hours ago

Don't you dare drag down Jafar like that!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 13 hours ago

I would have voted for the parrot, if only to hear him quote Fifty Shades of Grey.

[–] answersplease77 13 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

He spent $250M on Drump campain because he knew he would make it back 10 folds in government subsidies, tax cuts, rules and regulations. How do you think his net wealth reached $436 Billions?

[–] [email protected] 29 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

At this point I wouldn't be surprised if Musk was blackmailing him, he could release Trump's twitter dms at any time

[–] Zachariah 20 points 13 hours ago

Donald is beyond blackmail. He’s already done heinous enough stuff that he should have been done for, but instead he’s president.

[–] mumblerfish 4 points 10 hours ago

This photo has a lot of

You don't talk to my son about his accused crime. Son, shut up. Let me do the talking.

-energy.

[–] Sho 14 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

They both just look so gross...and old.

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

Nothing wrong with looking old - if you are old.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

Is that trump’s signature on his cap?

[–] TehWorld 1 points 3 hours ago

You clearly don’t read your Bible. May I direct you to Revelation 13, verse 16?

[–] Placebonickname 10 points 14 hours ago

Musk looks like a Ted Nugget concert roadie….

[–] Madrigal 3 points 11 hours ago

Looks like he’s been put in the corner for some time out.

[–] 3aqn5k6ryk 2 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

Right dude look so fucking orange. My last orange wasnt even that orange.
