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 seems ironic that I keep seeing spam about Elon Musk from a community named "Enough Musk Spam."
maybe it is like "there's enough musk spam here, no need to post them anywhere else"
like the community volunteered itself to be the spittoon of musk stuff to protect the others
"We're annoyed with constantly seeing stuff about Elon Musk, so our plan is to all group together and post exclusively things about Elon Musk. To... help? Wait, why are we doing this again?"
Because if most of it's contained into one community, you can just block that community and you don't have to see musk stuff if you don't want to.
That's the idea at least.
do u hav games on ur island? ?
Haha, he looks like Gollum
There's so much ammunition to use, that reducing to bash him because of his appearance is just petty, childish behaviour which is easy to dismiss from his side.
Most of his photos are filtered to make him look prettier than he is.
True, many photos of people in the public spot light are altered to look better.
Some are intentional to make the person look more attractive because the halo effect bias is real.
Some of these alterations are done by photographer to make their photos more aesthetic because they look better in a portfolio that helps them get work.
Plus people will hire photographers or allow photographers to be in their restricted spaces that have a history of taking flattering photos of them.
But to come back to the halo effect.
The halo effect is where we humans tend to think people who are good looking are better.
Smarter. Kinder. Just good. Good people. Deserving of wealth and health.
They have to be. Look at that handsome,/beautiful face.
They couldn't possibly have committed those crimes!
This is an intentional manipulation tactic to downplay someone's criminal behavior.
I aim to reverse that effect. Show him as ugly so people can more easily imagine the crimes he commits and acknowledge them.
Musk is ugly. He's not attractive or handsome. Neither physically not personality wise. I dislike that he is always portrayed as much different (physically) than he really is to try to downplay who he really is.

It's the same thing that all those magas do with images of trump as a big buff muscular dude.
Glasses have often been used to make defendants look smarter and more humble in court cases to appeal to the jury and judge.
It's encouraging a perspective on personality based on appearance.
It's all the same b.s
But people absolutely fall for it.
I've never met a nice South African
Upvoted for excellent choice of picture.
Looks like Thom Yorke
Please tell me this is genuine and not AI slop.
Yeah I think it's photo manipulation. Photoshop or some other software. And it's easy to curve text and warp it in PS.
Its slop
This looks more like plain old photoshop to me
Something about the text tickles my slop detector tho
It probably would be gibberish if it was aI.
Nah, Photoshop can curve text like this pretty easy.
