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.

There are white folk oppressed by black folk but that number is VERY small and isolated to no more than three countries, and nowhere near victims of genocide. For fuck sake, I hate how the word has been overused, I suspect that certain groups are trying to destroy and downplay the meaning of 'genocide' to lessen the negativity of the public's opinion of Israel. The only real one happening is Israel wiping out Palestinians/Muslims, maybe China wiping out Muslims, but recently they've been tossing the word around to describe pretty much any slight violence:

RFK Jr

EU Parliament

Norway (This might be legitimate, but this is the only source that describes it a genocide)

The UK government used it to describe something mundane as well
