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 exaggerated for comedic effect, sure, but it is true. There is a statistically significant number of people who are autistic and identify as trans/non-binary as compared to neurotypical people.

sigh I would argue correlation over causation. autistic people are generally less likely to care about societal conformity and be open about their gender variance and gender diverse people are more likely to seek out a diagnosis. one is unlikely to be causing the other.

along with that, it's largely irrelevant and this type of rhetoric only aids right wing peoples in labeling gender diversity as mental illness in need of treatment and/or demonization.
