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.

I used to think it was releated to racism due to the name.
It is related to racism. Stereotyping is always racism.
I was screenshots of people basically being mental or entitled on twitter. You’re classic “white Karen” etc. stereotype. There was or is a black twitter too…wonder if that’s banned. That’s definitely more racist.
No, it wasn't. Nor is it racist for black people to want to have a community that can talk about black issues without Nazis harassing them in the comments.
Oh I thought it was people making fun of black peoples posts. Which I thought was bad.
Nah, though people obviously tried to do that a lot, thus the mods having to lock comments pretty frequently when it would trend and the racists would pour in.
Realistically what they should have done was make it a private community after it got big enough.
Yeah, no, segregation based on race is racism regardless of your reasoning of it
Don't want Nazis? Moderate properly, not force people to upload pictures of their skin color
yeah exactly bigotry is when i as a straight white man am not allowed in somewhere i dont understand why minorities dont understand this they have to let me in their spaces and theyre not allowed to call me slurs like cis or cracker
This is why I, as a gamer, always make sure to join women's book clubs as well.
I don't read any of the books because there aren't enough boobs in them but it's important that women don't exclude me
Not one of them has even tried to stop me because they know I'm right, except when they get triggered by my speaking truth to power ovs
Yep, totally said all that, for sure
Continue being an idiotic racist, it's gross
no u
I'm not the one busting out boring racial slurs to try and prove how making people give _Reddit mods pictures of their skin to be allowed to post on a public forum somehow isn't racist, that'd be you
no
Never forget
