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.

That's a Roman Salute (that never existed in Roman Times, just fascist modern countries).

He's autistic, it's not his fault (also they'll never hold jobs or be successful).

His heart goes out (to other white supremacists in the crowd who cheered loudly for his salute).

He's just waving to the crowd (while promoting white fascism).

He got a little over excited (and forgot he was being recorded?)

What a fucking weird loser.

No:

BYD has suspended its plans to launch its passenger electric vehicles in Canada due to a 100% federal tariff on EV imports from China. While BYD had been planning to enter the Canadian market and had been engaging with potential Canadian distributors and lobbyists, the tariffs discouraged their plans. BYD has also opened its first bus assembly plant in Canada.

Seems that might have been an anti-Chinese smear campaign, seems the construction is back on track and the factory is opening in 2026

Love to see it, the creative cardboard standup really pulls it all together though.
