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 did this dud ever get mistaken for a genius?
Many drugs permanently alter your brain. He could've been smart at some point but he just took too many/the wrong drugs. Now his intelligence is low enough that he thought it would be cool to hang out with Trump.
...but let's be honest: You don't get that rich by being smart. You get that rich by being lucky (and a total scumbag).
All accounts say that he was never particularly bright or capable.
Cuz he was quieter. When I used to think he might be smart is when I never watched any of his interviews or read any of his tweets.
Better to keep your mouth shut and be called a fool than to open it and prove them right.
Never liked him to begin with, but back then I saw him as a visionary. Seems he has been having visions all along.
