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.

Just think about how much happiness you'd get from:

  • Completely solving world hunger, single-handedly.

  • Massive vaccine roll-outs to eradicate or nearly eradicate some of the worst diseases.

  • Giving every single homeless person in the US a free house to live in.

  • So much hookers and blow.

And after all that, you'd still be a billionaire. Just getting started.

Dude could be universally loved and become a living saint if he spent his money for good. Instead he'll just be remembered as just another greedy pathetic rich asshole.

The world would also celebrate your existence, not despise you.

I think about this all the time. If he just built electrified trains everywhere in the world and ended world hunger, I wouldn't even bat an eye if he also wanted to start a weird sex cult (with consenting adults). Chute dude, i'd probably sign up to incubate one of his sons.

Tbf if he just built electrified trains everywhere in the world, he'd run out of money before finishing a single continent.

Think about it: He doesn't have a trillion dollars (or even a few hundred billions) in liquid cash. It's all in the perceived value of Tesla, which is about 30x overvalued (price/earnings being around 300, 10 is considered a normal healthy value). The more electrified trains everywhere, the fewer cars needed.

Your handle/name made your last sentence even more amazing.

Solving world hunger would get you an endless parade of pussy.

You wouldn't need hookers.

No one would need hookers everyone would be so well fed and happy and stress free that everyone would want to reproduce.

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 2 points 1 day ago

Fuck that. If I'm well fed and happy I'm going to want to keep rolling, not deal with some shitty screaming brat for years.

[–] hanrahan@slrpnk.net 0 points 1 day ago

several billion more mouths to feed would start more problems

[–] TheEighthDoctor@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Best I can do is:

  • Hookers and blow

He cant solve world hunger, money isnt the problem, and liquidating the stocks to do that would wipe out the value of what his stocks are worth leaving not enough money anyway.

Its an incredibly complex problem.

He could likely do something about it in specific isolated western countries though.

You think anyone would feel any happiness for that if they are already a trillionare? he probably would be more worried about wasting his money.

If those people cared at all they would at least donate 1% of their income and donate more percentage as they get more money.

Legos and plastic kits!

Thinking hookers are connected to happiness says no good things about you as a person, and I in no way mean that as a negative to sex workers.

What about blow?
