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.

Elon announced today that he's changing the name from "Cybertruck" to "Swasticar".

Not sure if the onion, but honestly that sounds so plausible, I can't tell the difference anymore

It's really sad to me that a wildly visible piece of shit like Musk will forever be associated with the name Tesla. As if Nicola didn't have enough troubles in life, we're dragging his surname through the mud because Elon is a literal Nazi. It's a shame.

The modern day Edison, who uses his money to steal from those smarter than him and claim credit, is the face of Tesla.

We used to think history repeats itself. Now it twists itself to create hideous, exaggerated reproductions of past ills.

There are two types of people. Those who think Elon is the modern day Edison, and those who think Elon is the modern day Edison.

Would have worked better with the double SS runes

Guys, guys, I don't know why you're upset. It's an ancient symbol for good luck. Completely benign! What do you have against good luck?!? It's like everyone whose genocidal white supremacist advocacy you disagree with is a Nazi or something...

It's just an unfortunate font that looks bad out of context.

[–] Arbiter@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

Careful, Elon might actually like this.

[–] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

Maybe he just thinks it's a fancy "X".

[–] cyborganism@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 months ago

Get Nicola Tesla's name out of that logo please. The man doesn't deserve to have his name stained like that.

He’s autistic, so he can’t possibly know it’s inappropriate.

I did nazi see that coming. (I did, but I just really, really needed to make that bad joke)

[–] gaael@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

I really want to see a Return to Castle Wolfenstein mod based on this iconography!
