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 got an old reliable boogeyman who hasn't come out to party for a while, so they'll dust him off, and send his creaky bones out for a turn on the dance floor - Communism. It's going to be all about Communism and the rise of the Red Menace in the Democrat Party.
What BOTH parties don't get, is that a LOT of people, especially young people, are fed up with both sides, and Socialism - a little light Communism - is sounding pretty good right now. A third of Dems already support the Democratic Socialists, which mean even more are cautiously leaning that way, too. About 50% of Democrats are listening to DemSoc candidates, in one of the most contentious elections in history.
A LOT of people, including some on the other side, are starting to think that ANYTHING would be better than this.
And they're very, very wrong. That's what got Trump elected.
