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.

At SOME point persistent, weaponized incompetence has to be attributed to callousness or evil.

Only a complete buffoon would give another buffoon raw unchecked power like this. God damn this is the lowest point in US history.

Yo dawg, I heard you like buffoons...

how much time do you think Xzibit spent on how to spell his name? Is the "z" really necessary? Was it a design decision?

[–] BossDj@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I feel like there is a slight chance of some seeing Xibit and pronouncing it zibit (like xerxes)

[–] kibiz0r@midwest.social 2 points 1 week ago

Lowest point in US history so far

[–] toy_boat_toy_boat@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

are we all idiots then? because all i see is a bunch of scholars talking about how wrong this all is.

[–] cubism_pitta@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Scholars are irrelevant. It’s the question of “Is Elon evil, or incompetent?”

At a certain point we have to assume evil as his mistakes are continuous and on going

[–] toy_boat_toy_boat@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

we're on the same page, so i hope i don't come off as disrailing. i'm just shooting the shit.

i should have said 'celebrities' rather than 'scholars'. scholars are actually screaming their lungs out right now.

and there's no question. tt's not incompetence. the guy owns a fucking rocket company.

but falling down a bunch of stairs is a lot more razor-friendly than being pushed, so i've now taken to practicing old pagan rituals to invoke time and gravity.

I am just trying to give engagement :) Lemmy needs more activity and it starts with us dumbasses.

I never took what you said as hostile; I feel your comment was worth responding to.

I just wish the media would quit enabling by pretending any of this is normal or accidental…

Maybe pagan rituals are the answer… we really need some [redacted]

oester is coming up, and i hear the christians love bunnies and eggs but can't quite explain why..

yeah, we're totally on the same page. i find myself almost wanting to disagree with you on something (edit: :P)
