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.

“You know, when I think about it… I guess there’s some good things this tyrant did. He’s still a tyrant, but there are some good things he took credit for that he did.”

I was doing to make a "Elon is an animal lover", but that's not true. Goddamn, he doesn't even live up to Hitler.

Yes, the world is not black and white, there are many shades of grey.

Ok, you grasp the concept of shades of gray. That's a good start,but do you understand how the proportion of each shade matters?

If a person helps out an old lady with correct directions towards the city center, only to grab her purse and run when they finish can we say "they've done some good things"? Should the helpful directions even have any weight in our judgement of them?

If a person grows Tesla and SpaceX only to get enough power to steal from and turn several countries towards fascism, do the good things even matter, considering their actual end goal?

Yes the good things matter, unless we’re back to all black?

So it's all white is what you're saying? If not, how much do you perceive is white and how much black in this grey area?
