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 Musk is a Moron and a fascist.
If EU really was Nazi, I bet he'd be really happy about it, he tried to help AfD in Germany the most Nazi like party in Europe since the actual Nazis.

This is just a "no you" response, to try to water down claims about Nazism, when the threat is actually real in USA, and Elon Musk is absolutely among the drivers of it.

EU is on the contrary fighting it, and fighting to uphold international law, after USA abandoned international law, democracy and human rights completely.

If anybody doubt that the AfD is a nazi party, this was a real electoral poster

They couldn't resist making even the arrow look like a sieg heil. The arrow!

Holy shit. And that's legal in Germany? What about "never again"?

[–] Jesus_666@lemmy.world 13 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I'd like to point out that the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution declared them a "proven right-extremist endeavor" back in May – until the AfD got a preliminary injunction against that. Until that is resolved they're not officially considered dangerous.

Of course the injunction hasn't been resolved yet and the AfD will probably try to stretch it out until the next general election.

Due to highly effective social media work (probably with some help from abroad) and the traditional media continually being goaded into talking about their preferred topics (and not, for instance, their laughably terrible fiscal policy), they currently stand to be the most powerful party after the next election. And you can guess how much that "proven right-extremist" declaration would mean if they get to form a government.

This is well proven, and also where abroad it comes from. Mostly China and Russia. (I'm guessing increasingly the USA, too.)

I don't think there's a list, but many individual cases have been reported over the years. Proven and factual, not just accusations.

If I remember correctly it was highly criticized and were force to dispose of them

They were very clever about it because the slogan says "we'll protect your children" so if you squint and you're also blind in your right eye, it looks like they're simply forming a protective roof above the kids.

I'm from Austria and I got the "house" idea, but it's clear as day what they did and in Austria I'm pretty sure a Geschworenengericht would have sentenced them (Verbotsgetzt). I'm not sure about the laws in Germany but given the history I guess you have similar laws.

Even their logo does a Nazi salute. The swoosh is basically the motion a hand makes when it sieg heils

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Was that after elon's *cough* "roman salute"?

I would have hoped after, but they've been doing this kind of trolling for a long time.
