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.

If you want to know who rules over you, just look for who you are not allowed to criticize.

A literal quote from a Nazi, though

It's also not a good point if you're older than 14. The progressive left has recently been using the line "your jokes should punch up, not down". That means the people you're "not allowed to make fun of" in some circles are underprivileged.

Sure it's "valid" now to say those who rule you you aren't allowed to make fun of, but that's only because of fascism. That saying gets used more against the progressive left by people like Musk when no one laughs at his unfunny jokes, than it's used by the left against oppressive rulers.

I understand Musk being worried about comedy being made illegal though, considering he's a walking talking joke of a man

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago (3 children)

And yet his SNL appearance was one of the most unfunny performances ever

[–] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 16 points 1 week ago

Him being there was the joke.

[–] lectricleopard@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

He's a joke, but its a bad joke. No one likes it.

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 week ago

Well, there's "funny" in the sense of "ha, ha, ha!", and there's "funny" in the sense of unpleasantly peculiar (i.e "funny smell").

Musk definitelly matches the latter sense.

Word is that his mom is so slow it took her nine months to create a joke.

Elon Musk complaining about how his jokes don't land, is the funniest joke of all.

[–] aesthelete@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago

Comedy could be completely illegal and he'd be 100% safe.

Does NOT involve him dying:(

I'm burning in hell as a capitalist

[–] PhilipTheBucket@quokk.au 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

My God dude, watching his mannerisms is physically painful.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

hes trying to function while COMING down on ketamine.

[–] PhilipTheBucket@quokk.au 2 points 1 week ago

Honestly that's a pretty good theory. I don't know ketamine but something very clearly abnormal is going on there.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 13 points 1 week ago

Nobody said we wanted to outlaw humor.

We just said you aren't funny, you pathetic little parasite.

Let that sink in.

[–] LoafedBurrito@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Damn I actually forgot about Elon for a few weeks after getting banned from reddit. They shoved him down our faces all day long.

Hope he stubs his pinkie toe daily for the rest of his life.

[–] OccamsRazer@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

It's so funny how all the previous talking points from the right are now being used by the left.
