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.

Not incel enough judging by all the kids he's sired and subsequently abandoned/neglected.

[–] Moneo@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Incel is a state of mind

Musk had gone after MacKenzie Scott for her charitable donations, writing "'Super rich ex-wives who hate their former spouse' should be listed among 'Reasons that Western Civilization died'."

Scott, who has stated that she wants to "give away all of her money", has given over $16.5 billion, with over half that going to charities focused on gender and race issues."

This guy is such a piece of shit. How is it even okay in any way to shame someone for... ::double checks notes:: gives most of their money to charity.

[–] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 19 points 8 months ago

It's pretty much the cardinal sin for filthy rich people, so that definitely tracks.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 53 points 8 months ago (2 children)

I'd say Western civilization died when people started being worth more than they could ever possibly spend in a hundred lifetimes.

I wonder what Elon would know about such things...

[–] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

To live your life sure, but it'd actually pretty easy to spend it if you wanted to spend it.

You could easily dump a couple hundred billion into fusion research for example.

If it worked well you'd probably become a trillionaire, but no guarantes there.

That's not the kinda stuff that should be dictated by individual people just because they are rich, but by a democracy and/or a team of experts.

[–] Immersive_Matthew@sh.itjust.works 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

There are wealthy people in every civilization though?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Every civilization is not Western civilization.

[–] joneskind@lemmy.world 50 points 8 months ago

Today I also learned about Musk’s racist rant against HBCU…

Every fucking day I think to myself that he couldn’t possibly be a worse person and every fucking day I’m proved wrong.

Super rich billionaires who are completely detached from all reality should filed be listed among 'Things legally required to be shot on sight’

Reminds me of:

"The Encyclopedia Galactica defines a robot as a mechanical apparatus designed to do the work of a man. The marketing division of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation defines a robot as "Your Plastic Pal Who's Fun to Be With. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy defines the marketing devision of the Sirius Cybernetic Corporation as "a bunch of mindless jerks who'll be the first against the wall when the revolution comes"

"Curiously enough, an edition of the Encyclopedia Galactica that had the good fortune to fall through a time warp from a thousand years in the future defined the marketing division of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation as "a bunch of mindless jerks who were the first against the wall when the revolution came.""

“And, for an instant, she stared directly into those soft blue eyes and knew, with an instinctive mammalian certainty, that the exceedingly rich were no longer even remotely human.” ― William Gibson, Count Zero

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 33 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Like, I get it. My ex-wife really fucked things up for me too.

But the downfall of civilization? Dude, you are giving her way too much power

[–] asteriskeverything@lemmy.world 15 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Nah, he's just that ~~misogynistic~~ self centered

[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 11 points 8 months ago

Musk is just so awesome that any attack on him is a defecto attack on civilization.

[–] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 29 points 8 months ago

Wrong.

M.B.A.s are the reason western civ is dying.

[–] drmeanfeel@lemmy.world 24 points 8 months ago

Bought the whole platform so he could "tell it like it is" with his shitstained takes and is still too much of a coward? Come on buddy freeze peach!

[–] KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 19 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I'm wondering how many of his issues are because he's just an asshole, or if he's going through a long spell without pussy.

You know what, its probably because he's an asshole.

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 20 points 8 months ago (1 children)

He's one of the richest men on earth. He could have hookers on retainer if he wanted.

[–] skyspydude1@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Unfortunately his usual go-to for those services "didn't kill himself" a while ago.

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.world 13 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

Elon on twitter after he stubs his toe.

"Stubbed toes are causing climate change!"

[–] m13@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

Toe stubbing is part of the woke agenda.

I still asking why did Grimes had a relationship with him. Because she is the kind of person that I would never imagine having something with a far-right billionaire white dude.

[–] Fades@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

To be fair, phony stark wasn't always far-right (or at least not publicly). He (like trump and many other bastards) were lefty earlier on before going full-on right wing. Doesn't make the Grimes thing make sense, but it plays a part no doubt.

[–] Fades@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago

He's just a stupid fuckin conspiracy theorist incel with money. He was raised with a silver spoon in his mouth and a golden parachute out his ass

[–] Everythingispenguins@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

You would think he would quit getting married if he believed that.

[–] dangblingus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 8 months ago

At this point, what woman is willing to let his dick anywhere near them? Traditionally, this is where you get zero pussy ever again for posting blatant incel shit.

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Just keep fucking that chicken there Elon.
