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.

And he's wrong. We don't want people to murder him. We want him to decide that he's going to personally settle Mars and go on a space mission and live out the rest of his days in outer space, or inner space, or at least on another planet, far from us.
If he gets to Mars, great. We still don't have to deal with him. If he doesn't get there, then at least he'll have some kind of ironic ending.
Also, if you look at the impact that cutting USAid has, he's one of the good biggest mass murderers in human history.
No, I want him to serve the rest of his life in prison, with his withered dick, ruminating on how he ended up in a tiny dungeon, even though he had all that money, and should be living the most luxurious life on the planet.
I'll settle for murder.
Waste of of resources, the fucker's circling a perpetual khole, he'll fall in of his own accord
Yeah, I've done some analysis and it turns out that the world at large would be fine, everything would still work.
The fixation on USAID is really annoying, as it's a known front for intelligence services that provides aid as a second-order benefit. Doggedly insisting that millions of people are dying because USAID doesn't exist is a cop-out. US foreign policy focused on encircling, embargoing, arming dissidents, and outright bombing public infrastructure creates far more pain and suffering than anything USAID resolves. The real crimes of the Musk Administration have been on the Pentagon side of the equation - facilitating military actions in Sudan and Ethiopia, the Philippines, Libya, Syria, Gaza and the West Bank, and Iran - through his Starlink network.
He's a mass murderer because he provides material support for mass murder, not because he cut back on the CIA's "Food for Snitches" program.
It's obviously multi purpose, but its main purpose is humanitarian aid that saves lives and keeps our national reputation out of the gutter.
One of the things that has kept us from going the way of the Soviet Union is having most of our international meddling being saving lives and fixing things. It at least partly makes up for (or at least distracts from) the heinous shit we do as well.
