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.

MODERATORS
 

As of June 25, 55.1 percent of Americans viewed Elon Musk unfavorably, while 37 percent had a favorable opinion—a sharp shift from early 2024, when the numbers were roughly even, according to Silver Bulletin.

"Musk is still popular among Republicans, but he's less popular than he used to be and less popular than other Republican figures," elections analyst Eli McKown-Dawson wrote.

Has he tried not being a fuckhead?

[–] Anomalocaris@lemm.ee 3 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago) (1 children)

seriously.

he has a golden PR opportunity.

just say that he has a drug addiction take a vacation in s luxury rehab for a couple weeks and gain simpathy. then all he has to do is being less public about his racism.

but he's too dumb to see it.

[–] IhaveCrabs111@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

If he does that he’ll lose his fuckhead supporters though

[–] Anomalocaris@lemm.ee 2 points 1 hour ago

but he'll get back that apolitical centrists liberal demographic, the people who say hes Tony Stark. he'll be back in SNL, and people might use him as an example of "genius"

that is all 100% BS.

but it shows that he isn't only Selfish, racist,bigot, he is also not a smart one.

I hope he will be ignored into obscurity and eternal oblivion. Peter Thiel too, what a disgrace for the german people.

How is this possible? I'm convinced you can do the worst shit imaginable and 30% of people will still support it, no matter what.

[–] Anomalocaris@lemm.ee 3 points 1 hour ago

37% of the county is a brain dead twat

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 7 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

6% of the us population consider themselves far-right, 17% consider themselves right-of-center-right, add in silicon Valley nuts, linked in lunatics, vc padded vest wearers, die hard Tesla / SpaceX fans, single issue voters, red-down-the-ballot-voters, and people who don't keep up with what elon did bad - easy to see tbh

[–] WizardofFrobozz@lemmy.ca 6 points 7 hours ago

AMERICANS will support it.

Nation of 10 year olds.

[–] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 89 points 1 day ago (4 children)

He killed his Dem fans by going MAGA. Then, killed MAGA fans going against their orange god. All-around idiot that got lucky investments with daddy's money.

Jump in one of those exploding rockets, Elon. It surely won't blow this time.

[–] Allemaniac@lemmy.world 10 points 10 hours ago

friendly reminder that Eloser Muskrat got over 8 million USD in DAILY subsidies from the government, while he swore to hold a chainsaw to "democracy" to "cut costs"

[–] ShadowRam@fedia.io 32 points 1 day ago (5 children)

I mean, him Titan CEO'ing himself on the way to Mars as a showcase that his tech is safe, is well within plausibility

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 10 points 15 hours ago

He could do that today by showing off how reliable the collision detection and braking systems are on his Cybertruck.

Solid chance he does the same thing in one of his robotaxis

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He isn't taking his own robo taxis.

Does he even drive a tesla?

[–] entropicdrift@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 22 hours ago

He does. He required their charging port to be where they are due to the layout of his garage at the time when they designed the Model S

[–] Tarquinn2049@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I don't know, the stream where his entire goal was to prove how good starlink was for gaming where he immediately blamed all his deaths on poor connection quality, sort of implies he has trouble putting his products before his ego.

And while he is an expert at deluding himself, I think we have already passed the point where even he could be convinced his rockets were safe.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 5 points 1 day ago

I doubt he would drive his own teslas

[–] andyburke@fedia.io 4 points 1 day ago

No way dude goes himself. No way.

[–] ReallyActuallyFrankenstein@lemmynsfw.com 11 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

He not only did what you describe, but by buying Twitter, he intentionally worked to polarize the entire political base into neat "pro-Trump" and "anti-Trump" camps. Then he finished systematically burning his bridges with both. Amazing work all around.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago

Glad the drugs made him unpredictable. Unlike thiel and bezoa he can't help but to be an attention whore.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago

All he has now is hopefully getting Russian fans

[–] Owlboi@lemm.ee 7 points 21 hours ago

People dont like Nazis???

In other news, Forks found in kitchen!

[–] MushuChupacabra@lemmy.world 38 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Being a sack of hot garbage will do that to your popularity.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

He's mostly ketamine, and various drugs.

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

HGH. So much HGH going to his chest.

[–] lagoon8622@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 hours ago

Brogan and Wifebeater Dana too

[–] ZDL@lazysoci.al 0 points 15 hours ago

And an enormous amount of human fæces as a binder.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago

fuck this Nazi scum.

dude should go back to South Africa and crawl back into whatever shithole he crawled out of.

[–] Kyrgizion@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He can always crawl back into his k-hole. Good riddance.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He's probably too tolerant to ketamine now.

[–] ZDL@lazysoci.al 0 points 15 hours ago

He should increase the dose. Maybe mix it with booze. I hear that's a great way to increase its effect.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

Still alive tho.

[–] Novamdomum@fedia.io 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

It's all just Woody Harrelson crying gif to him though.

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago

No, he's very, very insecure. No one loves him and he's desperate for affection. Him and Trump both have deep daddy issues.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Since the scene originally took place in a zombie apocalypse where money was worthless, unironically this. He's clearly unhappy and his money does nothing to change that. Like many narcissists, he desperately wants to be liked.

[–] ZDL@lazysoci.al 1 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

He should try being likeable.

Awesome strategy, though. First, piss off the sane people, then piss off the crazy people.

[–] raspberriesareyummy@lemmy.world 1 points 21 hours ago

All time until now...

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 day ago

The big doughey lump made people mad at him. He deserves it. Fuck off, chud.
