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 is in dire need of an atomic wedgie
Instructions unclear, shoot him point blank with a davey crocket.
This is fine.
Better, even
That might be a little closer. I think you'll end up in the splash zone if you fire it point blank and it won't be as much but as the one at Splash Mountain
Doesnt matter. I go to Valhalla either way.
Lol I don't trust Musk with pictures of my food I'm sure not going to trust him with handling my money
So after all this he’s literally making PayPal again. But now he gets the X. That’s it. PayPal Elon (I’m not calling it 2.0 because it’s not better in any way).
Get fucked space Karen, I wouldn't even dream of trusting him with my money.
Don't drag people named Karen into this
Agreed. He's clearly a Kevin.
One of my best friends is a Kevin and he's not a dick
I met a guy at a bus stop who claims to have karate-punched an alien who tried to probe him, and stole a perpetual energy device from its spaceship. I think that guy has a better business plan than Elon.
I will read his eventual obituary with extreme glee.
Saint Peter don't ya call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
Alternatively, everyone can just Venmo me all of their money. I'll keep it safe, I promise.
"Don't worry, I won't be laundering any money through this, Why would you ask that? Oh, nobody asked."
This is a financial literacy test.
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.
You forgot about the next year Hyperloop, and Cybertruck, and Mars base, and household robot, and ..
So we're going to bring back the scrip and the Company Store model?
Man already wants to offer loans on his one way trips to the Mars slave mining colony.
Is it going to be called the Spruce Goose bank?
Prepare to have mind blown then.
People who’d trust this delusional con artist with their money deserve what happens.
Yeah, because Musk is totally trustworthy with your money. If anything, this will end up getting used for money laundering.
If he raises enough investor capital, he can start on the money laundering before getting any consumer money!
This fuckin guy is so far up his own ass
Imagine expecting people to care that something would blow your mind.
Scammers drooling right now.
A la you don't need a bank account...as long as you use ours.
Twat.
BloXchain here we go
Be careful he will steal the name and tell everyone that he came up with it!
The Bernie Madoff sequel is looking so bland. Same shit. Different grifter.
LOL that man is clueless
I cant wait to ring the bank I have my mortgage with and tell them I dont need them anymore.
I expect the few remaining sane people in that crumbling mess to run away as quickly as they can.
Can’t wait for him to announce the Bay Area company town
Texas remember he loves Texas now. Plus he could get away with it there.
