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.

Did they actually cut it off? (Even if temporarily?)

Yeah, I am not doubting that this happened, because in the mix of callousness and incompetence on display, it isn't unlikely. But a source would be much appreciated, still.

We don't need sources, we just go off vibes

they tell a thousand lies in the time it takes to fact check one. We tell one lie, and suddenly every complaint we've ever held against them is invalidated because we're liars.

I think it's obvious how absurd this is.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen this said better. I’ll be quoting you.

wish i could take credit for it, stole the quote from a reddit comment from a few years ago. I'm sure the guy i stole it from stole it from someone else.

That’s cool. I’ll re-gift it, then. Thanks!
