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.

He wants to basically make WeChat for the West. So this is nothing new. Not a fan of this idea myself.
The problem is that WeChat took a looooooooooooooooooooong time to become what it is now.
Musk wants to do this in a bit over a year. AFTER spending a year ensuring nobody with brains wants to work for him.
And making WeChat requires a very specific political environment which isn't happening (yet) in western countries.
What "political environment" enables WeChat in your eyes?
Wants X to be WeChat in a year or needs X to become WeChat in a year? I don’t think the site formerly known as Twitter has long for the this world.
