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.

See, this used to worry the crap out of me

However, now that I know how extremely incompetent all the magas are, I now see it more for what it is; a bunch of Nazi wannabees are too incompetent to really create the corporate Nazi German type state that they want.

I knew musk and Cheeto are incompetent as fuck, but I didn't expect them to only add incompetent idiots to the government on top of that. Had they at least had competent evil henchmen then things would have been so much worse, but they don't. As bad as things are, they're just too stoopid to do their evil work right

So I recognize you for what you are, Elmo Evil and too dumb to make your real plans work. Kinda like brains, from pinky.

This was years ago and people still act like Musk only suddenly revealed he's a fascist.

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Elon Musk had a really good PR team, that's how he survived all of this thing. Otherwise he would been seen the same as Bill Gates.

[–] Auli@lemmy.ca 5 points 17 hours ago

Bill Gates is smart Elon has never been smart but people thought he was for some reason.

see a swasticar with a "I bought this before he was crazy" sticker

laugh

vandalize it anyway because he's literally a born-and-raised fascist

Fr not just his dad, his other grandparents were literal Technocrats who fled the liberal hell of Canada for the white paradise of Apartheid South Africa

"I bought this before he was crazy" is what they put on to have a thought-terminating cliche of giving money to a fascist.

For years he was batshit insane. I can forgive not knowing he sued to be called the inventor of PayPal and SpaceX, I only knew that like 2 years ago. I can't forgive him doing/saying:

  • "We'll coup anyone we want"

  • Suing for the right to call someone a pedo because they didn't like his bad idea to save children stuck in a cave

  • Selling the Hyperloop to help destroy the California High Speed Rail

  • Coming from a family legacy of slave-ran emerald mines in Apartheid Africa

Some of these are a few years old, to being something he's always been part of. And depending when they bought a Tesla, they willingly gave this man money. And then slap a sticker, thinking that ignores being a walking billboard for as fascist's brand, and how moronic they are as a person to give him the money, because I guess he said something funny on twitter 10 years ago.

Not underwater miners, it was a bunch of kids that went exploring a cave with their teacher

[–] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ah, I think I got that swapped up. Thank you.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 3 points 15 hours ago

Could have just changed it from miners to minors.

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago

Or that he’s an accelerationist

[–] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 64 points 2 days ago (2 children)

One more for the list of reasons my countries politicians need to dump and probably now ban X

[–] derry@midwest.social 3 points 16 hours ago

Every sane person needs to drop xtwitter

[–] MBech@feddit.dk 39 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I'm assuming you're canadian from your lemmy instance.

I don't know how the previous allies of USA haven't banned x yet. It's been crystal clear since the day he bought it, that it was nothing but a far-right propaganda tool.

The west will fall because of their tolerance to intolerance if they don't get their fucking heads out of their collective asses soon.

[–] Kichae@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 days ago

Most wealthy western countries so fully embraced neoliberalism that opposing private enterprise seems impossible. Even private enterprise owned by people who have embedded themselves within other countries' governments (maybe even especcially so, since public representatives very often have private business interests, and they wouldn't want those interests harmed for their activity as a politician). Eapecially private enterprise that is popular, and despite our online bubbles, Twitter remains popular, even as users clutch their pearls each time they log in.

Actions would be much more likely once the shift to bluesky is much more complete, but with Musk at least nominally set to be exiting his direct association with the administration, he will be regaining his plausible deniability.

[–] arotrios@lemmy.world 29 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Musk, honey, they're only burning your cars right now. Keep yapping and you're gonna start getting the attention of the really angry folks over at /c/LuigiMagione.

[–] Auli@lemmy.ca 1 points 17 hours ago

I wish people would stop this bs. Nobody is going to kill ceos like Lugi did it's all just blister. If there was a movement what are they waiting for? For things to get bad. Shit is bad and I don't see a rise up to kill the elite just tough guy talk about it.

[–] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 2 days ago

As a heads up, this is from July 2020. https://www.truthorfiction.com/did-elon-musk-tweet-we-will-coup-whoever-we-want-deal-with-it/

This is not "new" crazy, he's always been like this.

[–] 1984@lemmy.today 7 points 2 days ago

I think someone should deal with it. Yes.

[–] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 days ago

This was cooperation with Biden "deep state". He was also in favour of BS in anti-Venezuela elections that was a US/Biden coup attempt the most recent one.
