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.

fucking nazi asshole piece of shit

[–] [email protected] 63 points 2 months ago (5 children)

Wait, are we allowed to call them Nazis yet? Or is it still unnecessary vitriol?

[–] [email protected] 37 points 2 months ago

Once they start openly heiling, yeah, that’s allowed.

Wow. I was willing to believe that the still pictures were just perfectly timed to make it look like something it wasn't. But it totally is a Nazi salute.

The ADL is defending him. Bootlickers.

[–] [email protected] 90 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Fuck the ADL

I was on the fence about them for past shenanigans but this is the final nail in the coffin. My friends are now telling me that musk did not, in fact do a Nazi salute because his fingers weren't pointed the right way

[–] [email protected] 65 points 2 months ago (22 children)

Ask your friends why they're so familiar with the proper performance of the nazi salute.

the ADL is a zionist organization that supports genocide. they're not bootlickers. they're the sole of the boot itself.

You guys are lucky to have AOC. I'm a non-American that only knows her from memes and screenshots like this but I'm a fan. Especially compared to all the other dead fish.

How did he make the Nazi salute look somehow even MORE uncool than the -9999999999999999999999 it was already at.

[–] [email protected] 86 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Because he made it with the expression of a 16 year old in furious heat.

Reminder that Fox News declared Michelle Obama a terrorist over a fist bump.

So he literally turns around and does it a 2nd time.

How can anyone deny it now? There's no way this is coincidence, like he's just really awkward with gestures and was bad at throwing his hand in the air to the crowd. This can't be explained away.

Wtf bullshit argument or defense is he and his supporters going to spew out?

They all say he's such a genius, but he's unaware of how close this gesture is to a nazi salute? There's no way this can be defended. It's just too obvious.

Fuck Elon Musk. Knowing I’ll be able to piss on his grave and Trumps grave keeps me going. These fucking fascist need to be fought tooth and nail.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 2 months ago (7 children)

I fear it's not going to stop.

When Trump dies another, less stupid more insidious version will arise.

Guys you are just too left. Under any other circumstance a nazi salute and flirting with AfD is considered leftist by a comfortable margin.

Well, get ready for a whole lot of gaslighting. He’s going to say that’s not what he was doing and his lil army of trolls are going to toe the line.

Man, I still remember everyone telling me I was over reacting when the Republicans cOiNcIdEnTaLlY had an Odal rune for a stage and that they weren't really Nazis.

He’s definitely on something here other than uncut white nationalism, right?

So heil Hitler it is, now?

Granted, I never thought he'd get this far, but I've been saying for nearly a decade now that Musk is a lucky scammer who will do anything if it benefits himself.

I wonder how many people are left of the original musk groupies that thought musk was so cool and was going to save the world.

Do you still believe? Are you still that stupid?

I kinda get the feeling that part of this was a loyalty test for main stream media to see how they were going to report on something that was obviously a nazi salute.

Was it going to be "Musk is swatting at fly, the liberal media goes off the rails with crazy nazi conspiracies." Or "Musk is a fucking nazi, he needs to be deported"

Which is going to get the "love" of this administration?

Imagine how minimally functional your brain has to be to think this is anything other than a blatant sieg heil.

Now wrap your mind around the majority of voting Americans voting for this future.

The only advice I can give anyone at this point is to not hold too much hope for the future of this nation. Lower your expectations. It'll help you get through what's coming.

At least it's all over the news, seems like literally every news organization is reporting on it, even small ones.

Show everyone what these idiots voted for.

Any company advertising on X, buying Teslas, using SpaceX, etc is okay with working with Nazis.

That needs to be the message here. Make it clear to all his business associates that we will not forget how they react.

It's like nobody is even trying to kill him.
