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 is like saying that you are going to remake Die Hard but make it more historically accurate.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I’d watch a historically accurate Die Hard.

Let me guess, his main complaint is the skin tone of Helen of Troy?

[–] fizzle@quokk.au 24 points 1 week ago (1 children)

... and that a trans person exists.

[–] Angryhumanoid@fedinsfw.app 8 points 1 week ago

The nerve of someone existing without his permission.

[–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 16 points 1 week ago

You could shoot a film set in early sub-saharan Africa, and fuckers like this would still complain that it's not "historically accurate" if there's even a single black person in the cast.

[–] arctanthrope@lemmy.world 51 points 1 week ago (6 children)

even at the time it was first told it was a fantasy story about a mythologized distant past. complaining that the Odyssey doesn't have costumes accurate to the time of Homer is like complaining that Lord of the Rings doesn't have Aragorn running around in a WW2-era English army uniform

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 23 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Yeah.... This isn't about costumes at all. It's about casting a woman of color as Helen of Troy.

[–] drmoose@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I generally don't like virtue signaling but I just watched Odyssey the casting was on point for the entire movie. Amazing performance all around and hated Elliot Page and Lupita Nyong'o did amazing jobs - these people are 100% just racists and bigots.

I'm a Greek mythology nerd too and this is by far my favorite Hollywood take in this niche!

He's been broken since that diver rescued those kids rather than wait for Elon to build a cave diving submarine, and Musk's grown-up rational response was to call him a paedophile.

[–] jj4211@lemmy.world 40 points 1 week ago (3 children)

According to some that knew him, he's been broken long before that. Notably his first wife basically described exactly the man we are seeing long before that incident, but no one really took that in at the time. Even before they split up, saw a video about him taking delivery of one of his first rich person cars and on the video she already clearly thought this was some stupid bullshit.

Before folks were able to curate his public image and moderate his "creative input". He was seen as a crucial brand to maintain and powerful folks were eager to maintain the "real life Tony Stark" concept. Those are the guardrails that have worn out.

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I call the rescue diver incident his public Mask Off moment. Everything before that could be considered harmless shitposts or trolling other rich people.

[–] starik@lemmy.today 11 points 1 week ago

That’s when I realized something was seriously wrong with him, and he wasn’t just an autistic, eccentric genius.

[–] TranscendentalEmpire@lemmy.today 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah, he's always been this person. Pretty much everyone who's ever worked with him has always described him as a contrarian twat. I think his public image started to shift soon after firing his longtime secretary/mommy Mary Beth Brown, who used to control all his public engagement.

When Elon says "historically accurate", what he means is "no black people".

[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (5 children)

Ohh, I'm sure there will still be black people. They will just be in the very specific roles of servants / slaves / cannon fodder.

I think Elon would also unLGBTQ the Greek Gods.

[–] SwingingTheLamp@piefed.zip 21 points 1 week ago (1 children)

One of the most historically-accurate period movies I've ever seen is Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

"'ow do you know he's a king?"

"He hasn't got shit all over 'im!"

[–] Snapz@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago

In just two years, the premiere will be held at a big party at my cool (not weird) house on mars. The guests will all be real robots that do cool (not weird) dances to thank me for throwing the wildest parties. The AI actors will all have my normal and very regular speaking cadence, comic timing and cool (not weird) body shape. Anyone who isn't a robot but wants to attend will have to get pregnant by me, and from that point forward we will only communicate through filed lawsuits.

Sometimes I want to try ketamine but then I see how Elon turned out.

[–] lauha@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Truly a curse worthy of any story

On the othet hand he is literally the richest person ever to have lived.

On the other hand he is so insecure and sad that not even the global billionaire pedophile ring wants him with.

100$ says it'll never happen. Muskfuck never delivers and even he's not dumb enough to release whatever monstrosity their shit-tier AI would produce

Aren't there a bazillion adaptions that only have white English actors already. And of course they didn't care when non-Mediterraneans whites were given roles to play people from the Mediterranean. Like where was the outrage when fucking Gerald Butler played Leonidas with a Scottish accent.

Thank GOD! AFTER that I HOPE Elon and ~~Child Porn Producing~~ GROK can make a HISTORICALLY Accurate MARVEL DOOMSDAY! I'm TIRED of seeing Wokeness RUIN History!

Appears Elon has a naked Greek men fucking kink ...

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

I think this is code for “True to the art of the white race.”

There’s literally terminally online people mad that the Odyssey just… isn’t that.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 week ago (2 children)

How does the CEO of so many corporations have time to fuck around with stuff like this.

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 17 points 1 week ago

Cause CEOs don’t really do anything. All the work gets delegated to other people.

So he's gonna include achilleus in drag and getting fucked by patroclus, right?

Right?

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

It is not about "historical accuracy", it's about exclusion.

[–] Honytawk@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 1 week ago (5 children)

So ever single person in that full length movie would be brown?

Really doubt that Elmo.

There's a coherent, objective, and interesting interpretation of "historically accurate" that I would like to see, that being what the Greeks at the time that the poem was written imagined the poem to be describing.

(But maybe there would be too much moral dissonance for that to be a fun movie.)
