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 bought this before he was crazy" is what they put on to have a thought-terminating cliche of giving money to a fascist.

For years he was batshit insane. I can forgive not knowing he sued to be called the inventor of PayPal and SpaceX, I only knew that like 2 years ago. I can't forgive him doing/saying:

  • "We'll coup anyone we want"

  • Suing for the right to call someone a pedo because they didn't like his bad idea to save children stuck in a cave

  • Selling the Hyperloop to help destroy the California High Speed Rail

  • Coming from a family legacy of slave-ran emerald mines in Apartheid Africa

Some of these are a few years old, to being something he's always been part of. And depending when they bought a Tesla, they willingly gave this man money. And then slap a sticker, thinking that ignores being a walking billboard for as fascist's brand, and how moronic they are as a person to give him the money, because I guess he said something funny on twitter 10 years ago.

Not underwater miners, it was a bunch of kids that went exploring a cave with their teacher

Ah, I think I got that swapped up. Thank you.

Could have just changed it from miners to minors.
