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.

They let essentially college students feeding questions to LLM access data they never should have had access to and then let them decide the details of cutting at the broad direction not to save money but cut the things that the administration just didn't like, without regard for law.
Ultimately resulting in no significant savings, lots of good work being undone to the point of people dying for lack of aid.
In theory, a well experienced group operating within the confines of law to identify inefficiency with how the mission is accomplished might be good. DOGE was not this.
The biggest and most obvious clue, it was all Musk wanting to backronym something to DOGE. Nothing good comes out of musk trying to so something like a 14 year old kid would.
But all government spending should be open... There shouldn't be "secrets"
I'd like you to think for just a few minutes. See if you can't come up with some kind of government spending that should be kept secret. Take your time and really think.
The spending was not secret, but individual citizens' personal information was also scrutinized, which should not be considered wide open.
And how do you fucking think DOGE was uncovering "secrets" by stealing social security data? What fucking secrets could a random grandmother with diabetes have that you'd want?
Musk wanted it for his data farms. What is anyone else supposed to have gotten from it?
