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.

It’s not clear why Grok decided to answer every question with information about “white genocide,” the conspiracy theory that white people are being killed off by non-white people around the world. Musk, who grew up in apartheid South Africa, has helped spread the absurd idea, but there isn’t any strong reporting yet on whether he was trying to tinker with his AI project to make it conform to his worldview.

Maybe not to you.

Whoa whoa whoa.... are you suggesting the white wealthy guy from South Africa, who clearly favors fascist ideals, supports Nazis, has access to a social platform AND an AI chatbot ... is doing something as crazy as trying to ~~brainwash~~ ... ~~dupe~~ ... influence other people into hating and fearing other groups of people?!

Say it ain't so.
