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.

Wait, you mean Apartheid Edgelord might be anti-Jewish as well as anti-woman, anti-black, anti-...?! NO, SIRRAH! I WILL NOT HEAR THIS!

He didn't even get much pushback on this:

Elon Musk, the CEO of SpaceX, Tesla and Twitter, accused “the media” and “elite colleges and high schools” of being “racist” against white and Asian people, espousing his views without providing evidence on Sunday.

It barely even registered. That's why it's a CNBC article and not even MSNBC.

No one seems to care that he's a huge bigot.

He has money. That makes him able to do anything he likes in the eyes of many. Even many self-identified "leftists".

Yes, “decolonization” necessarily implies a Jewish genocide, thus it is unacceptable to any reasonable person

As a French whose father was enrolled at 18 in the terrible Algerian War (FYI he did 5 weeks of jail for refusing to shoot civilians), I can testify that we French people have not been genocide in the process of Algerian decolonization.
