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.

Some orphans will take matters into their own hand

Thanks for making it national news, major national media. Good work.

This only ends one way, with nooses and guillotines. It is up to the people how quickly it ends.

I pulled up next to a guy the other day and the passenger looked like Elon at first glance. My first thought was if I could shoot him in the face and escape long enough to at least make a few phone calls. That's how much this guy deserves to be deleted. I'd risk my life to end it all.

But... this has already been debunked? I guess it's all back and forth. Who knows, who cares.

Edit: nvm this is 4weeks old. It should be well known by now.

I'm really interested to see any reputable articles confirming this. Google searches didn't show anything, 1 press conference on Reddit, 1 instagram post

It’s stopping direct loans applications by people under 18, nothing about actual payments. When are dumb fucks going to learn Tweets aren’t sources?

I’m so glad the leftist plan to beat the right is be as completely critically illiterate as they are. Just cede the movement to the maniacs now because once the conspiracy theorists take root it’s a short stroll to leftist QAnon

I'm also interested in verifying this. Unfortunately, the article you linked to references young people getting sba loans not social security payments. It then repeats old news about very old people getting social security benefits.

IIRC the "150 year olds" in those records has to do with how computers handle dates post Y2K. I remember some programmers chiming in when that story broke. It's not actually fraud but a fix to handle certain pre 1980 dates in older computer systems.
