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.

It also just happens to be 88 in the ascii table. Could be a coincidence... but none of these fuckers deserve the benefit of the doubt at this point.

I mean if we go that route, then the following letters are also hate symbols. m,n,o,S,X and Z if paired with the number 13. Given the number of hate numbers listed by the ADL I'm surprised that the list isn't longer but most of them are either too low or too high to align to an ASCII value for a letter.

I'm not saying that the ascii table defines hate speech/letters. That's slippery slope territory. I'm saying that it's feasible that this particular fascist's fascination with this particular letter may not be a coincidence.

  • He's emotionally a child
  • He self-identifies as "techie"
  • He's been trying to cram X into all of his projects since day one

After those picture-perfect seig heils, and years of childish petulance broadcast to the world, yeah, I'm inclined to believe X has been "clever" code for HH all along.
