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.

MODERATORS
Article say it’s down 23% in the US and 15% globally. I’m surprised that there wasn’t a bigger drop in usage. Maybe there are more bots propping up the numbers?
Definitely lots of bots. Which, of course, Elon said he would get rid of once he took over.
Except once he took over, he realized that the bots are part of the business and profit model of the service so he figured out enough to shut his idiot mouth. Which is saying something really.
There's a lot of people who just refuse to leave. They'll complain and make fun of Musk, but they just can't pull the trigger and leave. It's the and for reddit and a lot of other sites as well.
