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.

he's desperate for approval, but the only people he's ever gotten that from was 4chan nerds. he's trying to manufacture that now, but simply can't because the number of people on 4chan who are actually exemplified by 4chan are limited, and the number of people who were joking and left the platform are more. so now elon is catering to a super minority, and ultimately isn't even doing that right because he's a total fuckin' phony. he never liked any of their shared nerd shit, not really, not the way they liked it. he liked all that stuff aesthetically because it helped him purchase cultural cachet to talk about hitchhiker's guide, video games, and technology.

the reality is he's a pathetic loser that no one at home ever loved, and all the kids and school bullied because his family never nurtured empathy within him.
