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.

Yea, I'm not buying your BS dude. It didn't end in scandal. It was scandalously ended. Whatever point you're making, about whomever supposedly over-hyped USAID is totally beside the point.
Are you attempting to Johnny Cocraine a $21B embezzlement?
I'm not even sure which change of subject you're trying to skewer me on, you've lost the plot mate
You really might want to research what you're arguing
I haven't argued anything but the illegal and reckless nature of DOGE. You are arguing and insinuating A LOT
Isn't a defense of the horrible policies imposed through USAID
Yea so that's not the topic. You want it to be. You should make your own post
The "1 life every 10 seconds" claim is fallacious. Musk is (inadvertently) correct. The money Kristof cites goes to gatekeepers, not relief workers. And the net impact of the so-called aid, particularly in Palestine, Jordan, Ethiopia, and Nigeria, are higher mortality rates caused by these foreign policy initiatives.
Just straight up, handing out aid money to Israel Settlers does not reduce the death toll in the West Bank. Just the opposite. Subsidizing food exports from El Salvador so Walmart can buy cheaper groceries wholesale does not reduce famine inside the country.
You are being lied to with these statistics. You are being lied to by the NYT.
I'm being lied to by you and a callous trillionaire you're carrying water for. You want me to defend something and argue with you. I'm not taking the bait. Go back to Xitter
If you put your trust in the NYT, I've got some Yellow Cake Uranium to sell you.
Who said that bro? classic tactic of bad faith reactionaries everywhere: Seize on minor discrepancies, make process complaints and attack the messenger rather than assessing the core claims on the merits.
Hardly the first instance of the NYT lying the country into a war. They've been pulling this shit since the sinking of the USS Maine.
How many millions of people has this paper killed with its lies?
NYT does not make decisions of war. Don't be silly. You're blaming messengers and cherry picking data to prove points you already believe. It's not convincing
Real "Goebels did nothing wrong" energy.
I wonder if this was Russian Facebook ads during the 2016 election, whether you'd have a different take.
