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.

Other countries didn't have Nixon and the same happened so It must be something more than that.

Or, US economic influence is considerably greater than you considered.

Can you list a few countries where the same also happened? Thanks.

Canada, Australia, most of the EU (some were never able to support a family with a single income to begin with, so those don't count), UK (they had Tacher tho so I will say they had a "Nixon")

Gee, you mean that the country with the greatest economic influence has influence????

Global affordability issues are a direct effect of the US.
