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.

Yeah, poor will not starve, but at what cost? Stakeholders will not see much profit and the US won't become white ethnostate.

I don't see the problem. I'd rather people be able to afford to eat and feed their families.

Anyone who has a problem with affordable groceries, in a period of time where the cost of living outweighs being able to afford groceries; can go fuck themselves with a rusty Trident.

Are we legally allowed to pray to St. Luigi in regards to Musk? I hope similar actions can happen.

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 8 points 11 hours ago

Well I'm upset that Musk is still breathing.

[–] umbraroze@slrpnk.net 7 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Elon Musk literally bragged that if anyone could prove $6B could end world hunger, he'd spend it. UN was, like, yeah. He, of course, dropped the conversation right then and there.

[–] Zink@programming.dev 7 points 6 hours ago

Yeah but can you imagine the humiliation if it didn't work and he accidentally just saved millions of lives without getting rid of 100.0% of the problem?

[–] llama@lemmy.zip 11 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

What is the irony? That he thinks the original plan was to give away food for free then they realized they have to charge something? I'm pretty sure charging something was always the plan just not with the intent of a for profit model.

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 1 points 10 minutes ago

I've been trying to figure out,... my conclusion is that he doesn't know what irony means

He's upset cuz he wanted to be loved by the masses the way Mamdani is.

[–] liking625@lemmy.world 12 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

He sounds as he pretends to be smart, but he just shows as a scumbag

[–] tio_bira@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Pretend is the right word, musk is a imbecile who have the achievement to be rejected by some of the evilest scum on earth, who is a bunch of racist pedophiles who make profit from people misery, but there's other assholes who are even more stupid than him and ketamine lord is able to capitalize and weaponize those morons.

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 3 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

So far as I can tell, his only actual contributions to any of his companies are the cybertruck, a tunnel that taxis people a distance that's faster to walk, and making an AI a racist pedophile.

[–] aesthelete@lemmy.world 4 points 13 hours ago

The cybertruck is so fucking stupid. I don't know how it's going to turn out but the slate truck looks like it's trying to be everything Tesla's truck should've been.

I don't understand. What's ironic about a socialist opening some city owned grocery stores?

[–] nao@sh.itjust.works 3 points 13 hours ago

The irony is, he's calling something irony and no one understands what he means.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 7 points 19 hours ago

In his empty head, there might be some connection to the Conservative Propaganda about people starving under Socialism, vs a Socialist opening grocery stores, and we're supposed to see that as "Irony," rather than popping a hole in their "Socialists Starve People" trope.

He's just not smart enough, or sober enough, to follow the mental path beyond "Har, har, look at this Socialist with food, har, har. Ironic, huh?"

[–] Red0ctober@lemmy.world 91 points 1 day ago (6 children)

Nothing in the slightest, Musk is just a dumbass with more money than any human should have.

The irony is that Musk, self-proclaimed super genius, doesn't know what irony is while calling things ironic.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 6 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Isn't it like rain on your wedding day?

[–] bcgm3@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago

I thought it was more like a traffic jam, when you're already late

Remember when the World Food Program showed Musk he could solve world hunger for a mere fraction of his wealth andyet he's still here trying to dunk on people trying to put food on tables?

He’s one of the biggest douchebags on Earth. Once people stop buying from and listening to him, we’ll be so much better off.
