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.

MODERATORS
They've done I his before, spent billions of dollars and lost, or didn't make much impact. It doesn't help your cause when your candidates ads are come on, the TV, and instead of being swayed by the argument, most of the viewers take note of who to vote against.
All they are doing is spending billions to promote MAGA, which everybody HATES. The money isn't going to change that hatred, it's just going to paint all candidates bright red, and make them unelectable.
And Republicans know it, which is why much of the right's campaign literature and ads you'll see this Fall won't include their party, because they know their party is toxic.
