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.

a couple of thoughts that i'm sure aren't popular on their face:
it takes a village to fail an idiot. elon has shown in the past that he's capable of being better than he is now. i don't think there's anyone in the world who* actually, really needs a genuine, loving hug right now more than he does (*edit - fixed sentence)
it's impossible to grow, learn, and make mistakes as a fucking trillionaire without it affecting millions of lives. everyone deserves to be able to make mistakes and learn and grow. it hurts us ALL when we allow people to amass such perverted fortunes. there shouldn't be super-rich people with respect to the rest, because it's harmful to all involved
elon is in pain. not just right now, but all the time. it's easy to see that he has a lot of regrets. he's still human, and he's still got a conscience. he's just misled, and it might be better to rally around him right now than to burn down his dealerships
i'm sorry - i know at least one of these is completely crazy - i'm just racking my brain trying to think of new things, because the way i'm currently thinking is fucking me up.
I guess my thought is: What if we had more of a "We know you're better than this" vibe than the whole "fuck you nazi" vibe?
Fuck a hug, dude needs a comically large cigar tip cutter
i did not specify now long nor now strong the hug should be
edit - according to current sources, i don't think a cigar tip cutter would facilitate your objectives.
He would continue dragging us all further to the right. That was the attitude many gave him, he just revealed how wrong they were to assume he was better than that
He's literally the grandchild of Nazi supporters on both sides of his family, it's super likely if not confirmed his parents were also Nazis. Dude isnt better than this and never has been
