Enough Musk Spam

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.

I think we all knew that that was a joke headline, yeah?

Honestly? No, not entirely.

Those crawls at the bottom of the screen can be written in a way that take liberties in order to get a viewer's attention.

Plus the guy saluted on national TV. He also tried pinning the Twitter hack on Ukraine. I put almost nothing past him.

In this reality we live in? It was better for me to spell out that it is indeed a joke before someone else takes it seriously.

The line between reality and satire has never been this blurry.

Reality has gone to shit, bro.

Based on the replies to the post, no

Satire is entirely dead so probably not. However it's him and his MAGA buddies that killed it so I'm totally fine with them paying for it with some misinformation.
