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.

I'm not a TSLA shareholder, but I do have a model 3, and my Disney+ app was removed.
I don't really care because I don't have kids, and between Disney and Musk, I'll take Musk any day. This isn't a good vs evil battle, it's evil vs evil, where one side isn't completely malevolent.
Yikes
Yes it is. Look at Xitter and say Bob’s wrong. And if you can’t see it, you should at least understand which side you’re on.
Musk saying antisemitic shit is heinous, that doesn't make Disney any better of a company.
Ah, the “whataboutism” defense.
One doesn’t negate the other; Disney certainly sucks in many other ways, but compared to Musk and his overt racism, Nazism, and harboring and enabling those who would do whatever they could to bring down the US? Fuck Musk, and fuck your feeble fake-out.
Stick to the conversation - we’re talking about Musk here - don’t change the subject to deflect attention.
Its weird that you know one side is completely malevolent, and then proudly chose that side.
"I know one of these parties has some redeming qualities, and it makes me sick!"
Yeah, spacex and moving electric cars into the mainstream, no redeeming qualities at all.
Oh for sure, cause there definitely wasnt multiple other companies doing those same things more competently, who were going just a bit slower because they were following pesky things like, I dunno, laws.
That definitely excuses the open racism and flagrent incompetence at every turn, for sure.
Just admit you love that he is a racist git, youre doing a shit job hiding it.
Everything I've learned about Elon musk since the Thai cave incident has been against my will.
He bought Twitter and I deleted my account. I don't know what he does on a daily basis, or what he says until it gets posted here, unlike you morons that keep engaging with him. I also don't know what's happening on Parler or Truth Social, because there's no reason to give those people engagement, which is what they want.
SpaceX is resupplying the ISS and Starlink provides decent internet where there are no other options. Tesla sets the standards for electric cars, and did it a decade ago.
Are any of these things perfect? No, but they are moving the world forward, and it is unfortunate that he's the guy at the wheel.
...and the other side is Tesla, owned by Apartheid Edgelord.
