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.

“There is no quicker way for people to think that you are diddling kids than by writing a song about it!”

First thing that came to mind.

That really irks me in a way. Not the subject of kiddy-diddling being bad, obviously.

Just that, for some reason, music is the only art form where everything you write is taken to mean a first person perspective. Even if you have written about a fictional character and you sing in character, you still get judged as if "you" are the one talking/singing.

The famous example is Money for nothing by Dire Straits, but i could probably find many more. I kind of want music to be able to tell stories, including those about bad people.
