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.

The poor have no need of the rich, but the rich could not exist without the poor.

Musk: But I'm Atlas, holding the world on my shoulders! The poor would starve if I shrugged!

He's been shrugging and the poor have been starving, so maybe it's time for something different.

and to the end the rich has propaganda to convince some of the poor ones that they are poor because of "other" people are making them poor and not the rich.

Robert Wyatt:

There is a kind of compromise
You are master of
Your endless gentle nudging
Left us polarised
It's hard to talk to enemies
And we are enemies
What we had in common
Makes it even worse
You're proud of being middle class
Meaning upper class
You say you're self sufficient
But you don't dig your own coal

I think that what you're frightened of
More than anything
Is knowing you need workers
More than they need you
