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 know people hating Musk, but one rule of being a drug dealer is to never get hooked on your own stuff you're selling.
Musk isnt selling culture; and he brought twitter precisely because he uses it all day. To use your analogy, musk bought into a weed-selling operation, but instead of just selling it or at least smoking the high quality stuff, he mixes ditch-weed with paint thinner and huffs that. Musk is absorbed by the social media hate machine way more than the average user.
You've misinterpreted what I said. There is a difference in using and being hooked you've dismissed that Joyce is explaining. Musk is not giving condolences but is giving opinions, not sharing joy with others but swinging markets and so forth. He bought Twitter because he wanted to control the platform out something, but I'm no expert in defining his character. You probably know Musk better than I, because I stopped listening to him long ago.
