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.

musk is clearly a deeply disturbed human being. this explains a lot and is, in and of itself, deeply disturbing.
is vivian the only close person who refused to be what he wanted them to be? the closest person that could not be bought and said "no!"? is this what broke him?
now everyone will pay for his inability to accept the truth and reality of another person.
a couple of thoughts that i'm sure aren't popular on their face:
it takes a village to fail an idiot. elon has shown in the past that he's capable of being better than he is now. i don't think there's anyone in the world who* actually, really needs a genuine, loving hug right now more than he does (*edit - fixed sentence)
it's impossible to grow, learn, and make mistakes as a fucking trillionaire without it affecting millions of lives. everyone deserves to be able to make mistakes and learn and grow. it hurts us ALL when we allow people to amass such perverted fortunes. there shouldn't be super-rich people with respect to the rest, because it's harmful to all involved
elon is in pain. not just right now, but all the time. it's easy to see that he has a lot of regrets. he's still human, and he's still got a conscience. he's just misled, and it might be better to rally around him right now than to burn down his dealerships
i'm sorry - i know at least one of these is completely crazy - i'm just racking my brain trying to think of new things, because the way i'm currently thinking is fucking me up.
I guess my thought is: What if we had more of a "We know you're better than this" vibe than the whole "fuck you nazi" vibe?
Jesus may have turned the other cheek, but they executed him anyway.
i don't get your point
Having an understanding that the issue is systemic and that all people ultimately deserve compassion, understanding, and justice does not negate the threat posed by someone in that position. Showing compassion to a person like that, who is an active threat, is dangerous. Once their ability to cause harm has been reduced or removed, then we can safely engage with them.
thanks, you're right. but do you think it's gonna take much longer to bring him to that level? something inside me wants to see the bigger Elon prevail. or do you think bringing him lower is just going to make him ore vindictive? he isn't really hanging around with good friends these days.
(ps - i'm not being apologetic, i just really want to make sense of this)
Honestly, you are a detriment to the human race, and you are pathetic.
No, they're someone who wants everyone to be redeemed and good to each other. That's the point of the left. Violence against fascists is a tactic but it's one we use because for some people at certain points violence is the only means to stop them from hurting people.
Elmo isn't going to give you money. No matter how much you slurp :)
