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.

The only time I bought something I saw in an ad in Facebook, it was a scam. Never again.

I'm pretty sure every gift my parents get for me these days is from an ad on Facebook.

There's this theory that online advertisement is not as good/effective as believed. As in, it's not more efficient than traditional spray and pray advertising.

If you knew nothing else about him, this might almost seem funny.

"The lefties are brigading again! It's all fake data! People love my platform and its ads!"

[–] JohnnyCanuck@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 weeks ago

They already know who bought something after seeing an ad. They want the number who think they haven't to be high.

Ladies and gentlemen, the smartest man of our time

Aww musky husky has a sad. Well, anyway... It looks like the elm seeds are appearing, indicating that elm pollen will soon no longer be DOMing our nasal passages. Y'all got anything fun going this week?
