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.

Maybe he would be more popular if he used his money and influence to create a better world. Say what you want about Gates, but that foundation of him and his wife saved tens of millions of lifes. It seems like Musk isn't even trying to create the illusion of using his money for the benefit of society.
Nope, no Nazis here!
It's so sad and strange to me that Elon still doesn't understand why people don't like him. Also, he doesn't understand that people don't have to like him either.
I've seen it with CEO types, they are egocentric so don't realize that not everyone wants to be like them, or hold the same beliefs. They prop up their fragile ego with "I'm the best, people want what I have" self talk.
He understands perfectly. He just likes playing the poor oppressed white guy.
Like most white South Africans I've encountered.
I don't wonder if it's because he's bought and paid for so many "yes-men" around him, surrounded by sycophants when he sees people talk poorly about him, it just doesn't line up with his day to day world view he bought. I doubt a single engineer who works for him has ever told him no, or that what he's doing is dumb.
If it walks like a nazi, talks like a nazi, and fucking seig heils like a nazi... Its probably a nazi.
it only needs to do one of these things to be a Nazi...
They call you a Nazi, because you're a Nazi. The murder part is just a bonus.
The murder part is also just because he's a nazi.
Nobody would think he was a problem if he wasn't also a Nazi, it's true.
He's also just a selfish cunt that is a stain on humanity
Long before the Nazi salut... Uh... I think about 3 or 4 years before it, I had an argument about Musk with one of my brothers who really likes him.
At that time I had watched a few engineers do the math on all this achievements, only to find out he's hyping up mundane things that already exist.
But most distressingly, he was saying apartheid things, and critiquing the arrest of a fascist who provoked violence.
My brother wasn't convinced.
What surprised me most about the salut was that he did it publicly! Right there out in the open! But besides that it was a full fledged visual proof of what I had been saying already for years. Surely my brother would not be so stu-...
No, I was just on the hate bandwagon. Of course that wasn't a Nazi salut, I just want to see it as one because I enjoy hating Musk. Because hating Musk is the popular thing to do right now.
He even did the goose-step...
We allowed it, so to complain is only an indictment against ourselves.
Elon Musk - Biggest loser of all time. Donnie being runner up to having the smallest 🍆 in the US.
Do you want to read a terrible joke?
A trillionaire and the richest man in the world walk into a bar. Bartender says: "what will it be mr Musk?"
Guy who spends vast fortunes finding, organizing, and financing far-right criminal gangs to commit violent crimes against non-white population centers: "They are only calling me names because they want to hurt me."
