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's Dad is like an even more evil version than Elon.

“They were not into political nonsense.” According to Errol’s telling, “We lived in a very well-run, law-abiding country with virtually no crime at all. Actually no crime.”

“Tell me, Errol, did they ever kill any black people to keep them in line?”

“Oh mercy yes.”

“Wasn’t that a crime?”

“What? No. Perfectly legal. It’s a damn shame how things have gone downhill since then.”

Behind the Bastards did an episode on a serial killer that was working with the apartheid era police.

There is a wild story about a US serial killer who was a policeman. He was caught because in his role as a policeman he did a lengthy PSA on television on how to keep yourself safe from the serial killer, and several people he'd tried unsuccessfully to kill called in to the television station yelling THAT IS THE FUCKING SERIAL KILLER, I RECOGNIZE HIM! One of them, I think, had given him a minor injury fighting him off which he still had during the TV appearance.

It is hard to fathom how different the pre-internet era was, in terms of how difficult it was for information to diffuse through society and how that impacted things on a day-to-day basis.

They had to pay people to be his friends even back then.
