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.

Rockafeller's 1bil is the equivalent of 30bil now so Elon is > 33x richer than he was. We need to tax stock bonuses and payments. You get paid in stock, it's income taxed at the top rate as either cash value at time of issuance or the equivalent % in stock to the government to be sold over the next 12 months. Loans backed by stocks or non primary residences should be taxed as capitol gains as well. I'm sure considerations for running it through a company need to be addressed to close some loopholes.
