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’ll never forget, I turned to Mr. Brown, one of the Browns made this crack (that Unarco managers were a bunch of fools for notifying employees who had asbestosis), and I said, ‘Mr. Brown, do you mean to tell me you would let them work until they dropped dead?’ He said, ‘Yes. We save a lot of money that way.’"

From an article quoting Lewis H Brown, corporate owner of an Asbestos Company, and ALSO the Founder of The American Enterprise Institute, a Conservative 'Think Tank' which pushed anti-trans rhetoric to help get Trump elected.

"Think" is doing some very heavy lifting there.

I can't believe the country of guns and freedom is letting those guys at their government.

If you don't want to fight, you should really gtfo.

This is the type of shit I used to read in books at school.

[–] conicalscientist@lemmy.world 19 points 5 days ago (1 children)

The guns were pointed at gays, minorities, liberals, and communists in order to free themselves from the tyranny of other people daring to exist in their presence.

[–] Randomgal@lemmy.ca 8 points 5 days ago

And kids I'm school. Don't forget the kids.

[–] khaleer@sopuli.xyz 7 points 5 days ago

I really don't get it' where this myth of freedom and democracy originated. Especially that life shows us real USA face all the time now.

The only freedom there was, was for billionaires to treat people like slaves.

[–] Aux@feddit.uk 3 points 4 days ago

Remember how you all were bashing Russians for not doing enough to stop Putin and his war? Yeah, it seems that a democratic nation with guns is doing even less. Gives you a perspective on why things are the way they are.

Someone needs to Luigi this dumb fuck already

[–] Kanda@reddthat.com 5 points 5 days ago

But think about all the money they saved in order to fork it out to shareholders?

[–] Punchshark@lemmy.ca 26 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Dude is angry because he has to get Romulus to pump his limp dick up

[–] doug@lemmy.today 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

This comment makes me think I probably don’t get the symbolism behind Romulus and Remus; I know Romulus killed Remus during a dispute on where to settle Rome? Was it? And they both were raised by a wolf? But uhhh, symbolism eludes me; what’s the joke with your comment? Me big dum-dum and need things spoon-fed to me.

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 17 points 5 days ago (2 children)

He has a child named Romulus. His 14th known child (likely more due to his penchant for secrecy).

[–] doug@lemmy.today 9 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Oh thanks. I was overthinking it/didn’t know his kid’s names.

[–] FireRetardant@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago

Heres me thinking Romulus was some kind of viagra competitor.

Take your botched tiny penis and fuck away off, you unlovable wretch.

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 2 points 4 days ago

The richest guy in the world, and he is so horny for any love and respect that the smell of desperation fills any room he is in. You can even see it anytime he makes a media appearance. The guy actually exudes a breath-taking level of anti-charisma. He's truly revolting to anyone who sees him.

All that money, and he has to rent wombs to manufature his DNA Storage Units/ Organ Donors/ Human Shields because no woman will go near him. Ive heard his dick doesn't work anyway, due to a botched wiener enlargement surgery.

So he thinks the gamers are his peeps, and they'll love him, right? Nah, all those great toys, and still none of the neighborhood kids want to play with him, because he's so fucking wierd.

It fills me with such glorious schadenfreude to see him demonstrating in real time, the old saying "Money can't buy happiness."

In The Wealth of Nations, the general gist is that it is the labor of the people that creates the wealth of the State.

So this gets interpreted by the oligarchs as: Humans only have value if they are able to provide labor we can exploit. Once they can no longer provide labor, they have no value.

[–] Aux@feddit.uk 1 points 4 days ago

That's how it is interpreted by pretty much everyone. Those who do not provide value to the society should not expect to get any value from the society.

Do it already. Miss one Social Security payment and see the boomers go absolutely bonkers.

[–] slappypantsgo@lemm.ee 9 points 5 days ago

Let the blade fall.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 9 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Maybe we should send him to this CECOT

If they are killing people, they are not doing it in broad daylight for all the satellites to pick up. This is a fucking idiotic thing that people keep bringing up.

[–] Rawrosaurus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 5 days ago

I very much doubt they care at this point. No one is trying to stop them. They could do it in broad daylight for every satellite to pick up, claim it is "construction work" and way too many would eat it up and run with it.

[–] lemmie689@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 5 days ago

So, Logan's Run X 1984.

Department of Government Efficiency is about commodifying the domestic proletariat, you say?!

[–] KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 6 points 5 days ago

And of course Rogan will endlessly glaze him

[–] sozesoze@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago

He could do something against the average lifespan and off himself.

Seriously what the hell is this timeline.

[–] Shardikprime@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

People were already not going to be able to ever retire since at least 40 years ago.

Oh wait, I guess people is just realizing it

Is this intended to be surprising? He's not saying anything that people haven't been saying for decades. Nor has this been any kind of a secret.
