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.

Buying Twitter made Musk "king of the sandbox," allowing him to promote free speech, but not at the cost of his own ego.

Musk bought Twitter because he opened his mouth about it and the SEC said “no taksies backsies.”

Seriously. Why are all these theories for why Elon bought Twitter when it all happened right out in the open?

Dude was high af and said a stupid idea out loud. Then he agreed to it, tried to get out of it, realized he was fucked, and had stupid pictures of himself taken in which he was carrying a sink. What was supposed to be funny about the sink? We’ll never know.

His sense of humor is at a 6-year-old level, so it's not surprising he has a 6-year-old's logic when it comes to what is supposed to be funny.

Well, the idea of “I should buy Twitter” began with the thought that he could be a kingmaker in this years election.

convicting this guy of fraud and locking him up would be good for humanity
