Stealing peoples votes.
Making them think they are sending in a vote so they don't actually vote. While musk mails in the real vote with his candidate picked
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.

Ready to Register has taken steps to conceal who runs the organization, but the website’s source code links back to another group affiliated with Elon Musk’s America PAC (...) The site’s code also states that providing a phone number and email address means consenting to contact from America PAC. Representatives for the PAC declined to comment.
Designed to appear official, the letters feature a seal and bold text reading “IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUESTED” and “OFFICIAL DOCUMENT ENCLOSED.” Georgia’s Paulding County election board publicly clarified that it did not send them.
North Carolina Board of Elections spokesman Jason Tyson told The Washington Post that the agency contacted Ready to Register but received no response. The organization is not under investigation because officials have not found evidence that it broke any law.
“Stuff like that is kind of fishy,” Tyson said. “This organization appears to be operating with poor, maybe nefarious, intentions.”
If "kinda fishy" is all you can bring up against such election *cough* irregularities, the whole system is pretty useless as the main tool of democracy.
A Washington Post report found that Ready to Register has taken steps to conceal who runs the organization, but the website’s source code links back to another group affiliated with Elon Musk’s America PAC, suggesting a connection between the two operations. The site’s code also states that providing a phone number and email address means consenting to contact from America PAC. Representatives for the PAC declined to comment.
The mailers, which began drawing complaints last week, included outdated voter-registration forms listing political parties no longer recognized in North Carolina, along with incorrect return addresses for voters in New Hanover County. Designed to appear official, the letters feature a seal and bold text reading “IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUESTED” and “OFFICIAL DOCUMENT ENCLOSED.” Georgia’s Paulding County election board publicly clarified that it did not send them.
