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.

Sometimes I feel kinda sorry for him for how alone he is, I can't imagine it, although it's pretty much his own fault for being so terrible.
For real I lay be too sensitive but this post had me feel genuine pity
If only Elon had a smidgeon of the empathy that you have, he would be a much better person.
As long as you don't get in the way of any mercy killings, I think you're fine.
Don't ever feel bad for a Nazi. It's ok. You're a human and want to think that there is some good or humanity in everyone. It's natural. This is the exact thing that he and Nazis lack though. Don't feel bad.
Getting angry when you should get angry is healthy. Punch a Nazi. It keeps your humanity intact.
When met with the crimes of empire, Gaza, Iran, Cuba, and countless more. When met with the crimes of power and wealth, Epstein, Musk, Trump, and countless more. Those that abhorre these acts and those that enact them must make sure that their hate is pure. It is a flaw of the compassionate to extend that same compassion to those that are responsible for the crimes they claim to detest.
It's entirely reasonable to criticize "how people feel". Because their feelings do not remain only their heads. They interact with the world through those feelings. And if their hatred and anger is not pure, if it has doubt, they will advocate to prevent justice.
People can "feel" how ever they want. But when those feelings bring them to telling others to "not punch a Nazi" (symbolically here), in that moment, they are just defending a Nazi from the consequences of their actions and denying justice to victims.
