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.

How does one get through to those who've blinded themselves by wrapping their heads in the notion that Musk's their strongman hero to save them, the fact that he's a puppet icon being used to distract you and continue the maximisation of "profit" (aka wealth extraction maximisation). ... That he used Nikola Tesla's name... Tesla... who wanted to power the world for free, in health affirming frequencies... and now Musk uses his name to extract wealth from people, disempower them, deceive them... ~ Ough... I'm gonna skip this rant for once, and go live a little.
Maybe more people will see the system's rigged dozens of ways. ... Can keep that tenuous hope going, defiantly.
