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.

I think the point is that they need to "start" neutral, and then get an opinion once they get informed about his doings.
The main problem is that he is an asshole of such an extent that it is hard to find someone who never heard of him (and therefore dislikes him)
Him being an asshole doesn't mean he did twitter fraud. I don't think a trial showing he's an asshole is supposed to address the twitter fraud part. It's similar to just because Al Capone is an extortionist murderer doesn't mean he's guilty of tax fraud.
