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.

Is Musk becoming the new Mike Lindell? I hope so.

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

He's a billionaire, of course he has some relations with crime, Musk is just dumb enough to say the quiet part out loud.

Fuck all billionaires. Including this Mexican one idfc what he did to musk

I would hesitate before judging someone purely on one statistic but it's difficult to imagine how one amasses that sort of money ethically. If I asked you to think of a billionaire that you would leave in charge of children, who would you pick? Bill Gates perhaps, Warren Buffet? It's slim pickings.

Jon Ronson advanced the idea that psychopathy is over-represented in the CEO class and presented some compelling examples in his book, The Psychopath Test.

It simply can't be done. How can it be ethical to earn millions times more than you could ever need, while others are in need of it. That's unethical regardless of if how it was earned. Not a big Jesus fan, but he's quite right about the need to share with those in need.

Bill flew on the Lolita Express repeatedly, so I hope nobody chooses that one

It's an extremely fraught decision, for sure.

Edit: Lemmy has trouble with gif?

[–] bitjunkie 1 points 6 hours ago

Not in my experience

[–] AVengefulAxolotl 2 points 8 hours ago

I dont think thats the case. Maybe the client you are using has problems with it?

Blessed be our own latino billionaire god. May Carlos Slim corporatocracy reign supreme over Musk's

[–] [email protected] 23 points 13 hours ago

You love to see it

[–] [email protected] 25 points 13 hours ago

Good. Unfortunately, it just means Elon will be enraged to decimate America further.

Really hoping for a Player 2. I'd do it myself but I'm a terrible shot.

Musk is a deranged idiot

Jesus dude... if you want to piss away your money, I'd take a couple hundred million

Turns out being a Nazi is bad for business in the 'globalist' 21st century.

[–] T00l_shed 48 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Sauce please? Because that is fucking amazing!

[–] [email protected] 94 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

That must count as the most financially ruinous tweet ever. Serves Elon right for being a total prick.

[–] TehWorld 47 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

Wasn’t president Musk’s announcement that he was going to BUY twitter a tweet? Seeing as it’s worth fuck-all now that’s in the running.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago

tbf the tweet itsself didnt cause the downfall though.

[–] chonglibloodsport 16 points 17 hours ago (3 children)

Yeah though his total demolition of the company wasn’t done by that tweet. He had to keep making bad decisions for that!

[–] [email protected] 16 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago) (1 children)

To be fair, buying Twitter was instrumental in him getting Trump to the presidency.

Like any Billionaire, he needed a media outlet to manufacture consent with - I'd argue that him buying Twitter wasn't as stupid a move as it initially seems.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 hours ago

I think he used Twitter to help Trump as a way of salvaging that investment, but I don’t think he originally bought it with that intention.

He must have checked his list of criminal dealings, saw that Musk was on it, and decided to correct it.

[–] But_my_mom_says_im_cool 101 points 21 hours ago (6 children)

Elon musk must have read Art of the deal recently, it’s obvious in his recent business dealings
