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.

Can we revoke his government contracts now?
Bro, Musk is literally an african-american immigrant welfare queen supporting Trump, like this is the best timeline for popcorn sales.
Boy Scouts might disagree.
God I see this everywhere. It’s stupid to revoke his government contracts - the government is buying services that they can’t easily replace.
Instead the government should force him to divest his shares in affected companies. That way everybody wins (except Musk).
Nationalize SpaceX you say?
I'll allow it
Look, as much as I don't like Musk, he's damn effective at building rockets.
He isn't doing shit. SpaceX is. Don't fall for his propaganda, the guy is a rich spoiled brat, not some engineering genius.
I agree for the most part. But he has, in the past, been very good at press.
You know the double landing of the rockets was an insane requirement had to come straight from him. There was no need to land both simultaneously, and just made everything a lot riskier and more stressful to coordinate. But the good press they got from it let them ride a tidal wave of good will for years.
Of course, he has ruined all that good will and then some. It's obviously time to cut him out. The one thing he was good at is not the his worst quality.
But yes, to your point, he never had anything to do with engineering in any capacity for any of his companies. He was a PR machine, and a slave driver to get his superficial vanity projects to completion. But that has all caught up to him.
His one and only skill is stock market manipulation. That's it.
Musk is literally banned from tweeting about SpaceX without board approval, but you go off about how musk is helping them...
Also when he talks about an engineering degree, he's lying. Completely. He dropped out before he even got through second year. He doesn't even have an Associate's Degree.
Hahahahaha, hahahahahahaha
You actually think he builds them
He's the modern equivalent of Thomas Alva Steal Someone Else's Ideas And Claim Them As Your Own Edison
Reply from the government: no
make your own conclusions
I'm sure the trapped astronauts will totally understand the necessity of that jab
The trapped astronauts will totally be onboard with punching fascists.
