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.

Two problems with this statement, as much as I agree with most of the sentiment:
It's not "his money". He finances himself entirely by debt. He's living high off of other people's money.
It's not even real money anyway. It's debt based on stock, and stock valuation is almost entirely fantasy. If he were to start selling off his stock, that value would plummet to the point that his hundreds of billions would be in two-figure billions range instead (which is obscene enough!) ... and he wouldn't have enough money to pay off the debts he uses to finance his high life.
