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.

MODERATORS
It doesn't matter if it's everyone or noone, because the mechanisms to make the determination if it is or not are being removed.
This devalues all of that conversation.
Entirely false, I cannot believe so many people actually believe this. There are so many people with actual verified respectable reputations going under their own names there that I cannot possibly take you seriously.
edit: as I said to someone else here:
I mean, let’s see here, how many credible people can I think of on Lemmy?
Not a single one, because we’re all anonymous random people. The only shred of credibility here is sharing something a fairly well validated website or news source… exactly like on Twitter. You act like no one on here posts questionable things that get removed. That is selective delusion for you.
Right but without verification I can go be David Attenborough and there's not much way to figure it out, unless there's another person claiming to be Attenborough.
The less famous and in the media a person is, the harder it is to know if their account is legitimate.
Depending on community driven accountability without tools means that new community members have no idea what is credible, only what is popular. That can be gamed, whereas accountability and reputation won't be.
The loss of tools doesn't negate existing reputation, it diminishes the ability to build reputation, and the community will continue to atrophy.
Taking such an extreme stance is a bit histrionic, try less relying on extremes and personal attacks like "delusional"
