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.

Looks like he wanted to wear this but couldn't find it

It's coming

It's still at ze tailor

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He is and always will be a goofy edgelord, no matter how much money he has

[–] Fluke@lemm.ee 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Balding goofy edgelord.

I do not mean that as an insult to our follicularly challenged brothers and sisters. I merely wish to have him reminded we know he paid for that hair, purely because his fragile little ego cracks every time he sees that old picture of himself in the public domain.

And I am totally here for that.

Whoa. Talk like that may get you sent to Gitmo. Anyway, which picture are you talking about? Asking for the guy down the road.

I just saw this on Bluesky.. It's funny and sad at the same time!

[–] Taco2112@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Death Maul was cool, I get more Wormtounge vibes from Musk.

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] Taco2112@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

For a second I thought was a photoshop with musk’s face on Wormtounge’s body. Nope! They just look eerily similar.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

At least Wormtongue in the movie killed Sauroman. Leading to the famous discussion between Christopher Lee and Peter Jackson about what a man sounds like when you stab him in the back.

For those not in the know Christopher Lee stabbed Nazis in the back, because of this, he knew what it sounds like when your lungs are punctured

We're literally living in a movie plot right now... "Evil billionaire attempts to overthrow a government and use it for global domination."

If this were a movie the bad guys would be obvious to everyone, but since we have the scum of the earth: propagandists, it's harder for a not insignificant portion of the country to realize it...

Yes I hate Trump and Musk, but even more I fucking loath the fox news primetime peanut gallery and the like, the Hannity's, Ingram's, Carlson's, etc... I wish nothing but the most excruciatingly painful slow deaths on them for what they've done to the population.

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

I think the bigger problem than cable news is social media. Billionaires get to decide the lense through which everybody sees the world. And social media makes that lense appear clear and unobstructed, but it’s very much distorted to benefit the people in power.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Even in the movies the bad guys have minions. They don't know their boss is that evil. Here in real life, I'm pretty sure they know and are actively promoting it.

[–] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

Don't you dare bring Kevin into this!

[–] Draces@lemmy.world 61 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Speaking of, I've literally never seen him with one of his children until Luigi and then I saw a photo from this same event:

He is quite literally using that child as a human shield isn't he?

[–] Baggie@lemmy.zip 42 points 1 month ago

Oh yeah absolutely, like literally the next day he started doing it.

[–] GrumpyDuckling@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago

No, he's got their blood exchanging through a hidden pump so he can stay young.

[–] pappabosley@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Is that the one where his son told Trump to shut up?

[–] TheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.com 36 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

Whomever told me to watch ...

DARK GOTHIC MAGA: How Tech Billionaires Plan to Destroy America

... yeah this is disturbing and depressing.

[–] Brodysseus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Got a tldr? Or watch in this case

Editing this: thenerdreich.com is recommended by video narrator and seems to have articles in this vein

[–] DarkSpectrum@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Given the importance of the content, I'd recommend watching the full video

[–] Brodysseus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I unfortunately prefer reading to videos for intaking information

[–] DarkSpectrum@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

That's OK 🙂 I know there are AI services out their that can transcribe YouTube videos into text. Maybe that could be a useful tool for everyday needs?

[–] YarHarSuperstar@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

This is so much worse than I ever could've imagined it would be

[–] phorq@lemmy.ml 32 points 1 month ago (1 children)

At this point I wouldn't be surprised if Musk was blackmailing him, he could release Trump's twitter dms at any time

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 24 points 1 month ago

Donald is beyond blackmail. He’s already done heinous enough stuff that he should have been done for, but instead he’s president.

Jafar had way more rizz

His beard was so… twisted

[–] OldChicoAle@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Don't you dare drag down Jafar like that!

[–] Coolbeanschilly@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago

I would have voted for the parrot, if only to hear him quote Fifty Shades of Grey.

[–] Sho@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They both just look so gross...and old.

[–] Noel_Skum@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 month ago

Nothing wrong with looking old - if you are old.

[–] answersplease77@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

He spent $250M on Drump campain because he knew he would make it back 10 folds in government subsidies, tax cuts, rules and regulations. How do you think his net wealth reached $436 Billions?

[–] coaxil@lemm.ee 12 points 1 month ago

What's with the jacket thing he has been wearing for the last while? Trying to create a specific look like a certain famous German did back in the day?

[–] Placebonickname@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

Musk looks like a Ted Nugget concert roadie….

[–] b161@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Is that trump’s signature on his cap?

[–] TehWorld@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

You clearly don’t read your Bible. May I direct you to Revelation 13, verse 16?

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

No, fElon bought the presidency fair and square...

Muricans, you do not want unelected idiots buying your government? don't put it up for sale

[–] mumblerfish@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

This photo has a lot of

You don't talk to my son about his accused crime. Son, shut up. Let me do the talking.

-energy.

[–] RandomVideos@programming.dev 5 points 1 month ago

Yeah, Elon Musk should take the middle seat so Donald Trump could tower over him

[–] Madrigal@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Looks like he’s been put in the corner for some time out.

[–] 3aqn5k6ryk@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Right dude look so fucking orange. My last orange wasnt even that orange.

[–] vorlaut_boy@feddit.org 1 points 1 month ago
