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.

How would they end homelessness with 20b? I doubt that's even remotely true
It is in fact not remotely true. You're being downvoted by gullible fools who will believe anything that helps keep their rage boner going, no matter how ridiculous.

Confirmation bias is a hell of a drug.
The point of the tweet is to show the egregious "take" of Elon Musk has while leeching on society and being a raging drug abuser himself while being a nazi-loving piece of shit that got rich off of daddy's apartheid emeralds on top of that. Doesn't matter if it costed $20bn or $200bn, Musk still has more.
I'm not saying Kyle was necessarily lying about the dollar value, but you can make that point without using a number people will call bullshit on. It would probably be a better too. Also, if people used his post as the start of a discussion of homelessness I'm sure Kyle would have achieved his goal.
