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.

I hate musk but I don't really like the idea of tevoking citizenship.
Start doing that to people you don't like and before you know it the power will be used by right wing nut jobs to get rid of immigrants.
Dude, the fascists are already getting rid of whoever they want - are we being serious?
It will either be a "hearts and minds" war or a "blood and death" war.
By going low on something like this, it feeds a MASSIVE win to the propaganda machine of the right. It would completely justify their "both sides" rhetoric and lose the "hearts and minds" war.
Citizens asking for it is better. It expresses an opinion, while also letting the left draw a line in the sand, before the right tries to push it through. Politicians trying to do it, would not be worth the cost.
I absolutely agree that fascism is running amok, but there's no legal instances of citizens being strippedbof their status.
This is kind of the holy grail for fascists they would love to be able to un-citizen people.
Giving them a precedent would be a really, really dumb move.
Which is why I propose just shooting him instead, cheaper than the jet or ship fuel that would otherwise be spent. And we all know the old saying after all, blood makes the grass grow kill kill kill.
I have no objections, moral or otherwise.
The reflex is understandable, but the blowback potential is, yes, REALLY serious and needs to be thought through carefully.
Just throw the fucker in jail.
I think if a million people single you out by name, maybe you deserve to be deported.
Generally I hate slippery slope arguments but in this case stripping someone of citizenship would create a precedent that the fascists would take advantage of.
Yes he "deserves" the be stripped of citizenship but it would cost you more than you would be willing to pay.
