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.

CNN noted last week that remaining advertisers include the NFL, Walmart, State Farm, Wendy’s, Office Depot, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Economist, USAA insurance, Formula 1, and Mondelēz International

Mondelēz International

This company is also on the list still of companies still doing business in Russia after the invasion.

Their corporate message about this is a total joke.

There are no easy decisions, but, like most other global food and beverage companies, we are continuing to provide food during these challenging times, focusing our operations in Russia on affordable, shelf-stable products that are daily staples for ordinary people.

Mondelēz, you're such humanitarians continuing to profit in a country who is killing and kidnapping children in their neighboring country of Ukraine.

Child seperation didn't stop Coke or Nestlé from advertising in the US

I'm confused by your statement. Coke was one of the first companies (along with McDonalds) to leave Russia after the invasion of Ukraine.

Also, as always, Nestle sucks.

Is Elon on the phone with the Saudis asking for more funding yet?

I wouldn't celebrate, Musk is trying to turn the platform into alt-right Weibo and losing most of their advertisers is part of the plan

Weibo without advertisers?

Imgur

Pretty sure that those things I've highlighted in red are ads or other forms of content forced on me without consent...

I said "most", they think there will be brands that don't mind the fascism

Hopefully that's where the plan fails
