What colour were the cyclops' eyes Elon?
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.
When Elon says "historically accurate", what he means is "no black people".
I think Elon would also unLGBTQ the Greek Gods.
Ohh, I'm sure there will still be black people. They will just be in the very specific roles of servants / slaves / cannon fodder.
Wouldn't slaves in Greece just be other Greeks and stuff.
No, no, no. None of that "logic" stuff in here, pal.
I think this is code for “True to the art of the white race.”
There’s literally terminally online people mad that the Odyssey just… isn’t that.
Lol yeah I mean Elon did lie about having a max level Diablo II account and then got caught buying one, like the punk he is
In just two years, the premiere will be held at a big party at my cool (not weird) house on mars. The guests will all be real robots that do cool (not weird) dances to thank me for throwing the wildest parties. The AI actors will all have my normal and very regular speaking cadence, comic timing and cool (not weird) body shape. Anyone who isn't a robot but wants to attend will have to get pregnant by me, and from that point forward we will only communicate through filed lawsuits.

He's been broken since that diver rescued those kids rather than wait for Elon to build a cave diving submarine, and Musk's grown-up rational response was to call him a paedophile.
According to some that knew him, he's been broken long before that. Notably his first wife basically described exactly the man we are seeing long before that incident, but no one really took that in at the time. Even before they split up, saw a video about him taking delivery of one of his first rich person cars and on the video she already clearly thought this was some stupid bullshit.
Before folks were able to curate his public image and moderate his "creative input". He was seen as a crucial brand to maintain and powerful folks were eager to maintain the "real life Tony Stark" concept. Those are the guardrails that have worn out.
Yeah I remember reading her article about him before he was widely disliked and coming to the conclusion he was a scumbag, but even then I didn't expect him to get as bad as he did
I call the rescue diver incident his public Mask Off moment. Everything before that could be considered harmless shitposts or trolling other rich people.
That’s when I realized something was seriously wrong with him, and he wasn’t just an autistic, eccentric genius.
Yeah, he's always been this person. Pretty much everyone who's ever worked with him has always described him as a contrarian twat. I think his public image started to shift soon after firing his longtime secretary/mommy Mary Beth Brown, who used to control all his public engagement.
One of the most historically-accurate period movies I've ever seen is Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
"'ow do you know he's a king?"
"He hasn't got shit all over 'im!"

Aren't there a bazillion adaptions that only have white English actors already. And of course they didn't care when non-Mediterraneans whites were given roles to play people from the Mediterranean. Like where was the outrage when fucking Gerald Butler played Leonidas with a Scottish accent.
And of course they didn’t care when non-Mediterraneans whites were given roles to play people from the Mediterranean.
"Who are you getting to play a Greek guy from a small island spitting distance from Egypt?"
"After reviewing the candidates, we settled on the most stereotypical Boston Irishman under 60"
I guess they didn't go with a Skarsgård, which shows some restraint.
It is like saying that you are going to remake Die Hard but make it more historically accurate.
That building isn't even in L.A.!
I’d watch a historically accurate Die Hard.
even at the time it was first told it was a fantasy story about a mythologized distant past. complaining that the Odyssey doesn't have costumes accurate to the time of Homer is like complaining that Lord of the Rings doesn't have Aragorn running around in a WW2-era English army uniform
Yeah.... This isn't about costumes at all. It's about casting a woman of color as Helen of Troy.
Let me guess, his main complaint is the skin tone of Helen of Troy?
You could shoot a film set in early sub-saharan Africa, and fuckers like this would still complain that it's not "historically accurate" if there's even a single black person in the cast.
How does the CEO of so many corporations have time to fuck around with stuff like this.
Cause CEOs don’t really do anything. All the work gets delegated to other people.
Thank GOD! AFTER that I HOPE Elon and ~~Child Porn Producing~~ GROK can make a HISTORICALLY Accurate MARVEL DOOMSDAY! I'm TIRED of seeing Wokeness RUIN History!
100$ says it'll never happen. Muskfuck never delivers and even he's not dumb enough to release whatever monstrosity their shit-tier AI would produce
Sometimes I want to try ketamine but then I see how Elon turned out.
Truly a curse worthy of any story
On the othet hand he is literally the richest person ever to have lived.
On the other hand he is so insecure and sad that not even the global billionaire pedophile ring wants him with.
Making an AI generated movie at the end of this year is billionaire equivalent of giving treats to your sickly pet before the euthanization.
So he's gonna include achilleus in drag and getting fucked by patroclus, right?
Right?
Appears Elon has a naked Greek men fucking kink ...
It is not about "historical accuracy", it's about exclusion.
