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.

It's not physically possible for him to spend the amount of money he could produce, on things that he could personally use.
The most expensive house sold in the US cost $0bn (to the nearest billion).
The most expensive private island that I can find any reference to online, Larry Ellison's island in Hawaii, cost $0bn (likewise).
The most expensive painting ever sold at auction, Leonardo da Vinci's Salvator Mundi, went for $0bn.
The ten most expensive historical artifacts ever sold at auction, combined, comes to $0bn.
The most expensive superyacht ever just about rounds up to $1bn, and the whole point of a superyacht is to be insanely expensive.
Anyone who thinks billionaires should be incentivized with more money isn't paying attention.
