Enough Musk Spam

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.

Yeah, I couldn't imagine ever acting like that toward my child the way he acts toward her. Just flat out declaring your child dead to everyone and refusing to acknowledge who they are now, just because of what they chose to do with their own life... It's pretty heart breaking.

He doesn't even have an excuse of losing his path to a genetic legacy, he's got a dozen living children who may still go on to have children. He's neglected all of them until Luigi killed a CEO and suddenly he's carrying one around like an ornament all the time, but still they got his genes, for better or worse.

Maybe 1970s Elon could have used a few more hugs, but this century it's just too late.

sometimes you just have to give credit where it's due, and i'm sure my LLM query cost a bunch of people a day's worth of artificial light, but here goes:

  • anti-triumph
  • a morality tale
  • a cosmic farce
  • an existential horror
  • a shakespearian tragedy
  • a greek tragedy
  • a geek tragedy
  • a cautionary tale

(i added the geek tragedy one. tip your waitresses)
