Enough Musk Spam

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.

Yeah but all that and other consumer protections make it harder for him and the other robber barons to get even more filthy rich off of us.

You're a rich nation ready to be plundered. They will be coming. Media control first. Then buying elections.

Yup that guy is naive. Politicians in Europe are every bit as venal, stupid, and greedy as American ones.

Doesn’t Italy have a Mussolini in their legislative body?

Ha! The UK lost control of its media to greedy rich people centuries ago! So... Yeah... Take that.

I hadn't thought of that. Maybe this all started with Tesla workers in Sweden protesting and Musk is holding a grudge.
