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.

Then he turned around, faced the rnc symbol on the wall, and did it a second time. Was he "thanking the symbol from his heart" too?

If you want to get technical, he made the exact same gesture Hitler did in the side by side video I posted. Are you saying that technically Hitler wasn't doing a Nazi salute? Cause if anyone knows what a Nazi salute is, it's him.

Look, we all know what he did, and it wasn't an accident or an adorable awkward moment from a neuro divergent. Absolute best, most generous case is that he was trolling Democrats. But that DOES NOT change that fact he did an intentional Nazi salute.

There were people behind him

He's not trolling, that would require him to be clever

He's just an idiot

It's like that scene in Family Guy where Peter Griffin becomes a staunch feminist and decides to go to the Million Man March to tell the MEN that it's their fault there is crime and violence in the world... just a bumbling fucking moron who doesn't realize he just told a bunch of BLACK men that it's there's fault there's crime and violence in the world

Except this shit actually happened in real life and you won't let yourself realize it

I'm not annoyed you guys are shitting on Elon, fuck him, I'm annoyed you're so eager to always see the worst that you won't let yourself see that what actually happened is one of the funniest fucking things that's happened in like 100 years

Once or twice is a fluke, but he's done enough Nazi-like things and associates with enough Nazi-like people that it has become a pattern. He's been told about it enough that it can no longer be considered an accident. It has become a pattern. A bright red pin wheel shaped pattern.
