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.

i have a feeling he does and hes not as much of a clueless naive kid this article insinuates.
Awareness is not a binary. He probably has moments when he's painfully aware of unpopularity e.g. on stage with Chappelle. We all live in some kind of bubble, it would be intolerable not to. His trajectory is common to someone like a rebel leader who becomes a dictator and eventually a tyrant where he's despised by everyone except the few people around him. They typically recede from public life but never let go of power.
