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.

Apparently it only counts if you hurt people physically. Hurting their finances, support systems, healthcare, employment prospects are all fine.

[–] FauxLiving@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

You could literally torture people to death without physically hurting them.

He's just drawing a false equivalence between not physically hurting people and never harming people.

I'm sure the people that he's targeted on social media feel harmed, like the "pedo guy" for example.

No one realizes the damage an insurance company can do, because they are all clean and and they have shiny offices.

They never stabbed anyone.

I find it telling he had the self awareness to add that caveat, but in typical fashion, couldn't follow the train of thought far enough to arrive at the logical conclusion. "I've taken away safety nets from the people, most are one paycheck short of being on the streets with nothing to lose, but what's up with all these threats!?"

There's a recent unironic Hitler Did Nothing Wrong sentiment that points out he never pulled the trigger or a lever on anyone.

I think Musk is going that route.

It's also been used to defend Brian the dead health insurance CEO.

[–] fellowmortal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 10 hours ago

I know this is beside the point & off topic, but Hitler is well known for pulling the trigger at least once...

spoilerHe did what many time travelers aspire to.

You mean the one he specifically amplified on his own site? Methinks he sees some parallels himself.

[–] RedditRefugee69@lemmynsfw.com 6 points 18 hours ago

He thinks he's orders of magnitude smarter than anyone else and nobody with guts could possibly see those parallels.

Frankly, we've been doing a great job of proving him correct.

He's still quite happy, healthy, and wealthy.

[–] forrgott@lemm.ee 39 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Oh, no. I don't think you fully understand. He's aware of what he's doing to us. But as far as he's concerned, we simply do not have the right to be upset about any of this, let alone fight back.

That is the way ~~elites~~ parasites think. That's how truly twisted they're minds, not to mention morals, have become. The pain is intentional. But he honestly believes we deserve to be hurt, and further that he's doing is a favor by reminding us of "our place".

Don't make the mistake of sympathizing with the enemy.

[–] Clent@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

It's not that we deserve to be hurt, it's that he is helpng us, saving us and the pain that comes with that isn't his fault. It's the fault of the oppressors he has saved us from.

[–] forrgott@lemm.ee 10 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Oh, I still think you're being far more charitable than you realize. To people like him, we're lesser. But their warped views rob themselves of a certain, I dunno, fulfillment. And if he's not happy, and we're less than him...

"~~Elites~~ parasites are sociopathic to the extreme. This poisons every thought, choice, and action. They do not think like you. This basic empathy you keep circling back to? The very definition of sociopath is that they do not have the ability to empathize.

It really is much worse than you seem to think.

[–] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 3 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Not hard to believe.

Prob is always hard to cite the this kind of claim but idk, whatcha been reading where?

[–] forrgott@lemm.ee 4 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Source? Straight out of my ass, technically. In other words I didn't have anything good to refer you to off the top of my head, but if you start just with the dictionary definition of sociopath you should see what I'm basing my argument from.

"It's not like I killed anybody. I mean, I gave the orders but they didn't say no."

[–] Tower@lemm.ee 7 points 13 hours ago

Exactly. Just like fElon reminded us the other day - it was the public workers that killed people, not Hitler.
