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.

Elon has been going around running his mouth about being one of the world's top Path of Exile 2 players. Then he was dumb enough to stream his gameplay to "show off his skills" and everyone saw that he doesn't even understand the basic mechanics of the game, strongly suggesting that he has been paying someone to level up his character for him.

Just one more example of Elon Musk taking credit for someone else's work.

Thinking he could pull this off (and doubling down after having been called out) is definitive proof that wealth has literally broken Elon's brain. He is verifiably less emotionally stable, less self aware, less intelligent, and less in touch with reality than the average person. Hell, even wanting this sort of validation in the first place is proof he's broken. If anyone in his life still sincerely cares about him, they should be concerned for his well-being.

I suspect he surrounds himself with people that won't tell him he's wrong because they want to continue to suckle the Elon teat. He likely lives in an echo chamber and there are people who "protect" him from seeing criticism.

This is what he's been doing the whole time, it's only backfiring now because his audience actually knows a lot about videogames as opposed to running a company or rocket science.

I have never meet an engineer that respects Elon musk.

Everyone who has experience with the subjects he talks about knows he's full of it.

Hell, even if I was one of his kids, I wouldn't say shit about it.

[–] RageAgainstTheRich@lemmy.world 52 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Its honestly hilarious. He is doubling down and now fighting that asmongold loser on twitter. He took away his checkmark and everything. Love 2 losers fighting one another.

Asmon fucking owns it though. This can only be a good thing for him.

[–] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 34 points 1 month ago

Asmon is the literal "don't wrestle with a pig" quote and Elon is getting real dirty.

It's incredibly pathetic this grown ass man wants validation from gamers.

Richest mfer in the world who is now in the fucking White House wants gamers to like him.

[–] bitwaba@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

He's perpetually stuck in his 8 year old rich kid nerd mindset. He thinks people will want to hang out with him if he has cars, rocket ships, and video games.

[–] Karjalan@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

There's plenty of non gamers who think "being good at bideo gane" means intelligence or success in other areas. Joe rogan said it about Elon. The big short guy is still doubling down on it about Sam bankman fried etc.

It's probably he wants gamers to think he's an "elite pro nightstalker" or some lame shit, but it also benefits them if people out of the loop think they're good at it. Even when they're not (and it has no predictor of skills in other areas

The guy who’s constantly lying and over exaggerating is lying and over exaggerating? Color me shocked!

[–] Zier@fedia.io 19 points 1 month ago

Xelon is a junkie and an immature child who has never had to be responsible for anything. Listening to this incompetent con artist is a waste of a life.

[–] sepi@piefed.social 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The funny part is how impressed joe rogan (an idiot monkey-man who believes anything he is told) is about elon's lies about videogames. Also funny is dumbass lex fridman doing the same exact shit.

[–] dustyData@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago

Even more stupid is the awful confusing a YouTube editor (one who edits videos for a youtuber) and a journalist editor (someone who leads a team of article writers). then removing Asmongold's checkmark on Xitter because they exposed his stupidity to the world. Felon's brain is fried beyond recovery.

The emperor is naked and no one dares to tell.

[–] SoftTeeth@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I think we're at the point where the child pointed out his nakedness and the emperor is in denial as his serfs laugh at him
