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.

Oh dear God, no. Elmo is not smart, not smarter than average and definitely not the big brain he's made out to be. He was fired from his own company for incompetence, for one. For another, any time he comes up with his own idea it's very clear that it's his idea because it's so ridiculously stupid.

Exhibit a: the cyber truck

Exhibit b: ballistic missiles to transport humans in 30 minutes around the globe

Exhibit c: Hyper loop

Exhibit d: Rockets on Teslas

All of these ideas are just plain stupid on so many levels that it's hard to comprehend, yet people act like he is a god brain and it's annoying the shit out of me.

This is ignoring the fact that every other word out of his mouth is a plain lie, but that is an entire chapter in on itself.

I don't think you understand how dumb the average American is.

54% of U.S. adults read below the equivalent of a sixth-grade level

Doesn't say much to be a little above average intelligence.

You know what they say. Most people are more dumberer than average.
