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.

Did you vote for the genocide-enabler?

I'm not even American and all you are is ridiculous

I don't like Trump either but it looks like he did more to end the genocide than Biden was capable of doing. Heck, even Trump gets to take credit now for saving TikTok, a platform where approx. 80% are against the genocide in Palestine.

ah yes, famously people who give Nazi salutes are anti genocide.

I hate Musk too but Biden was the President that kept sending money to murder 70k+ civilians, approx 25k children.

Are you sure about that? https://denvergazette.com/news/nation-world/trump-cancels-sanctions-on-far-right-israeli-settlers-on-occupied-west-bank/article_16677638-637b-5d6f-a262-a551f8767f38.html

Canceling Biden's sanctions on Israel letting them have the funding they want to continue their genocide reeeeealy sounds like doing the opposite of "ending a genocide more than Joe did."

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The same settlements that continued under Biden? It wasn't until 2024 that Biden claimed sanctions that targeted very few organizations but never targeted the actual government backing the settlements. Before you try to pretend that Biden never supported genocide through 2025, maybe you should do some more research. I am not fond of Trump & my point about the ceasefire & TikTok was that Democrats are incredibly inept to not have got it done before, letting Trump take credit. I can only hope for the best at this point.

Never said biden didn't support israel's genocide, just pointing out that the new guy is already undoing all the meager attempts to slow the genocide from the previous guy.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

A ceasefire doesn't undo the genocide, it helps slow it down. Even Biden officials admitted that Trump played a big part in that.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Lolok sure whatever you say, let's just ignore that day 1 trump reversed the sanctions on Israel placed by Biden to reduce the amount of weapons and money going to Israel for their genocide effort.

Man imagine trying to blame the previous guy for everything baf and ignore the new guy making everything worse. God it must be entertaining to live in whatever fake reality you have set up. At this point nothing, I say will lead to a fruitful good faith conversation. Hope your day is as pleasant as you are.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Thanks. I am a very pleasant person so I will have an amazing day. I hope you have an amazing day too.

The App that Trump pushed to ban in the first place?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

And yet here we are where he gets to take credit for bringing it back. Trump was even mentioned as getting credit whenever users opened the app. Like I said, Democrats are not all there... With AIPAC dollars, corporate donors & insider trading... They don't need to win, they just need you to believe if you donate enough they might be able to.
