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.

My brother made an interesting point. He did well with Tesla, selling EV to basically the left. Then he abruptly went full anti left, anti woke, essentially attacking his own customers. Like the amount of disconnect is unreal.

I think he's no longer on Ketamine, but Copium.

[–] AynRandLibertarian@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

Copium is religion for the rich....

This is fake. I mean, fuck the guy, but he didn't say that. This is the actual screenshot before the edit.

Well yeah, USA being able to run such a huge deficit was definitely related to countries around the world trusting/respecting/fearing them. So now that that's gone, bankruptcy is indeed on the table.

And it was Trump who caused it. I'm sure Elon helped.

Not just Musk spam, now we need to deal with fake Musk spam too.

Edit: not a real link

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

[–] Fluffy_Ruffs@lemmy.world 62 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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.

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 24 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Jarix@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

And i thank you

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

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 day ago

Reality has gone to shit, bro.

[–] PumpkinEscobar@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Based on the replies to the post, no

[–] makyo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

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.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 22 hours ago

We are not at risk of going bankrupt, you fear mongering piece of shit.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

I think if this immigrant wants to stay in our country he should have to pony up his billions to help with the deficit. He can make more of a difference than literally anyone else.

[–] Binette@lemmy.ml 17 points 1 day ago

hated him long before the Ukraine war, so can confirm this is false

[–] ech@lemm.ee 62 points 1 day ago

I think it's a mistake to attribute all this to drug use. For one, it further demonizes drug use, and second, it takes blame off his shoulders when he has proven plenty enough times that he's a fully hateful, narcissistic pos all on his own.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 26 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Conservative blames someone else for their faults?

Color me unsurprised.

[–] skozzii@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 day ago

Just once I would like to see them hold each other or themselves accountable...

People can use the "both sides' argument, but at the end of the day, Democrats will actually remove sexual predators or other bad apples from their cabinets, and Republicans don't.

[–] AbsolutelyNotAVelociraptor@sh.itjust.works 38 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I wish we lived in a world where we asked ourselves if this is something he really said.

Instead we live in a world where we ask ourselves if this is a meme.

I've said it before:

Satire is dead and we killed it.

[–] Magister@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Came here with the same question, is it a real quote? or a meme?

[–] WatDabney@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 1 day ago (3 children)

You would think that he'd be used to it by now, since he's obviously had the same basic personality since middle school, and everyone undoubtedly hated him then too.

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 31 points 1 day ago (2 children)

That's why he tried to bury this picture of him tryna be an edgelord.

He's always been a loser he just hid it with mommy and daddy's money.

[–] ZDL@ttrpg.network 3 points 11 hours ago

Keep in mind that the sixteen year old edgelord in this picture was 23 when it was taken.

[–] riodoro1@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Except almost the entire internet masturbated to his alleged genius not even five years ago, when he was already calling people pedophiles and talking bullshit about trains in vacuum tubes. He was the „messiah” that’s going to „save us from global warming”. Thats why the „enoughmuskspam” subreddit was born, because some people seen through him even then and couldn’t stand all the cum covered headlines.

[–] mimavox@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Sure, but it is my impression that all of that started to vane just because he called people pedophiles and shit.

[–] riodoro1@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Well he did loose some of his followers with every piece of shit that came out of his mouth, but not enough. Those people who believed he was the sole guy behind paypal, tesla and space x gave him enough of a platform to become president now.

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 day ago

i used to wonder if he'd have turned out better without the merciless bullying when he was a kid. now i think his bullies were on to something and were our only hope at avoiding all this
