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.

You don't get that kind of wealth without hurting people.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 25 points 4 hours ago

ooh, ooh! I can answer that!

Because you're a nazi piece of shit and have accomplished nothing more than being born rich and taking credit for other people's work.

Also you're wrong about the products, your companies make absolute shit especially when they listen to you.

Also you're a sexual harasser obsessed with impregnating women because you can't make up for the fact that you're an unfuckable troglodyte.

Oh and you were buddies with epstein and ghislaine.

[–] MITM0@lemmy.world 13 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

That's because Mr.Elon, you like Nazis & whitewashed Hitler's crimes.

Not to mention you also want to turn the world into a Anarcho-Capitalist hellscape.

Oh & your products were never excellent in the first place

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 28 points 6 hours ago

The harm Musk has done to people far exceeds that of if he were in nonstop physical altercations 24/7.

Musk has killed people. Musk has starved children and animals.

[–] buzz86us@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

I used to care, but after he went crazy, and the Cybertruck hit $80k from the $40k he promoted. I'm just done with him and his shit.

If you're going to be a deranged loon at least put out good products at reasonable prices

[–] 100_kg_90_de_belin@feddit.it 21 points 6 hours ago

I drew the line at union-busting CEO who falsely accused someone of being a pedophile

[–] theacharnian@lemmy.ca 9 points 6 hours ago

How to have everything and still be a miserable shit.

[–] ScrollCorm@lemm.ee 7 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

Unbelievable lack of responsibility on this guy.

[–] MaxPow3r11@lemmy.world 45 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

He has hurt plenty of people though.

People have DIED because his cars are shit & he lied about what they can actually do.

[–] TonyTonyChopper@mander.xyz 11 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago) (4 children)

He didn't design, engineer, or build those. You give him too much credit. His input likely amounted to "make it cheaper and raise the price"

[–] pedz@lemmy.ca 6 points 5 hours ago

Arguably he made Tesla's autopilot shittier by removing LIDAR because it was too expensive.

[–] Lifter@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I'm speculating but it seems plausible to also make decisions like start selling the cars even though the engineers are saying they are not ready yet.

[–] Seaflea@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 5 hours ago

I'd also say irrespective of whether or not he designed, built or engineered any of the cars he is still accountable for what happens with those cars.

The person on top is accountable for it all. It may not be his fault someone could be sloppy in their work and he is still accountable for it.

The managers who let things slide, the CEO is accountable. If these managers hired people not up to the task, the manager is responsible & accountable for those staff and the CEO is responsible and accountable for anything the managers & staff do.

If I as a CEO had an accountant not paying the right taxes, the accountant may be at fault and lose his job but it's still my responsibility and accountability those taxes are paid.

There is no world where CEO isn't accountable for the actions of the company. (In theory...)

Unfortunately we live in a world where the CEO's often have no consequences for the actions of their companies and the existing laws and structures to hold them to account are insufficient.

[–] Jeanschyso@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

He's the one who sets company culture as CEO, so the "move fast and break things" that got that lady stuck in her car while she drowned is his fault, and it will get a whole lot more killed when they actually enable that autopilot of theirs on the cars.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 1 points 5 hours ago

ignore QC, thats why some of his regular tesla have problems.

[–] Cool_Name@lemm.ee 44 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Notice how he specifies that he technically never "physically" hurt anyone.

But damaging his product and brand is "violence."

[–] melpomenesclevage@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

also he has absolutely physically hurt people. I don't know how, I don't know when, but he has.

[–] FreakinSteve@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

Provably all the people that died when his cars blew up or drowned them

[–] leadore@lemmy.world 26 points 9 hours ago

You physically starved babies to death and caused immense suffering by shutting down USAID. And that's just one of the many ways you've literally killed people and ruined people's lives, yet you're not only not stopping these things, you're ramping them up and pretending you're not doing anything wrong.

At this moment you are literally the most dangerous, most horrible, most evil, most despicable and most loathsome person on earth.

[–] superkret@feddit.org 84 points 12 hours ago

I've never physically hurt anyone.

This is called a suspiciously specific denial.

Like saying "I was never convicted for shooting anyone in the head with a 9mm."

[–] rational_lib@lemmy.world 77 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) (4 children)

The full quote is even worse.

My companies make great products that people love and I’ve never physically hurt anyone.

So why the hate and violence against me?

Because I am a deadly threat to the woke mind parasite and the humans it controls.

So basically he's saying - "I never harm anyone...the left only hates me because I'm a deadly threat to them (and that thing I made up to dismiss everything they say)"

Also, just wanna point out he's definitely killed/is killing people.

[–] Atherel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 hours ago

This in combination with the retweet about "Hitler didn't kill millions" is really frightening!

[–] 100_kg_90_de_belin@feddit.it 5 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Is the woke mind parasite in the room with us, Elon?

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 2 points 6 hours ago

God I wish I was

[–] Cool_Name@lemm.ee 20 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

I'm so glad that I was taught how to diagram sentences in middle school because when I see something like this I immediately strip it down to it's most basic structure. "I am a threat to humans."

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 15 points 9 hours ago

teenagers: "Why do we ever need this?"

teachers: "To take down fascism"

[–] JacksonLamb@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago

Self admitted deadly threat to humans. Got it.

This guy is LARPing Hitler in real time at this point.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 12 points 10 hours ago

It's for all the other shit you do, dumbass. Get fucked.

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 23 points 12 hours ago

"I've never physically hurt anyone" is a weird thing to say, in any context.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 48 points 13 hours ago

Ah yes, because he didn’t personally assault people he should be hands-off, event though he’s personally commanded people’s live’s to be fucked with.

It’s like the UHC CEO that was executed, none of them want to take responsibility for their actions or actually consider the ramifications of them. Like pulling the trigger on the gun but taking no responsibility for what damage the bullet does.

[–] frazw@lemmy.world 243 points 17 hours ago (3 children)

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

[–] alp@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 hours ago

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.

[–] CaptDust@sh.itjust.works 96 points 17 hours ago (10 children)

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!?"

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

[–] Tower@lemm.ee 6 points 9 hours ago

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

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 37 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

There's been violence against Elon? Does anyone have a video?

[–] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 7 points 10 hours ago

I wish there was. Badly.

[–] VeryInterestingTable@lemm.ee 11 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Didn't he just twitted that cringe AI image about being a violent man as opposed to being harmless or some shit? Now he hasn't hurt anyone and is an armless victim of people's hate? Which is it?

[–] theangryseal@lemmy.world 5 points 10 hours ago

Armless or not, he’s a villain that’s for sure.

I’m sorry. Your typo made me do it.

[–] takeda@lemm.ee 83 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I like how Bill Burr calls him: "the Twitter guy" I bet that hurts his ego more than fElon etc

Has he experienced violence against him that I missed?

you'd think someone this rich could buy a clue.

it really says something about him that there are no confidants, friends, mentors, no one to step in and shake him back to reality.

[–] chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

He has a clue. He’s not trying to convince his detractors of anything. He’s throwing red meat to his supporters.

[–] Ashelyn@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 5 hours ago

At that level of wealth, it is easy to insulate oneself from anyone who would actually give helpful advice, and even easier to find oneself in the company of yes men suckups.

[–] 1984@lemmy.today 35 points 15 hours ago (3 children)

Musk has brain damage and doesnt understand basic human emotions. Is he even human?

[–] Talaraine@fedia.io 65 points 17 hours ago (6 children)

His confusion has got to be completely feigned. I can't imagine even a billionaire doesn't understand what firing thousands of people does to their lives.

Either way there's no sympathy here. Bitch could've solved world hunger if he thought of anyone else for a single moment that wasn't for a press release.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

I feel like it's going understated that his dismantling of USAID has also directly led to deaths by starvation and preventable disease. Like yeh it sucks that Dave lost his job, but let's not forget the actual fucking murder happening.

It couldn't be because you're the doughy soft handed son of a rich apartheid loving father that never invented anything but takes credit for everything.
