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.

Terminally

Not yet, unfortunately

Not incel enough judging by all the kids he's sired and subsequently abandoned/neglected.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Incel is a state of mind

Musk had gone after MacKenzie Scott for her charitable donations, writing "'Super rich ex-wives who hate their former spouse' should be listed among 'Reasons that Western Civilization died'."

Scott, who has stated that she wants to "give away all of her money", has given over $16.5 billion, with over half that going to charities focused on gender and race issues."

This guy is such a piece of shit. How is it even okay in any way to shame someone for... ::double checks notes:: gives most of their money to charity.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago

It's pretty much the cardinal sin for filthy rich people, so that definitely tracks.

[–] [email protected] 55 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'd say Western civilization died when people started being worth more than they could ever possibly spend in a hundred lifetimes.

I wonder what Elon would know about such things...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

To live your life sure, but it'd actually pretty easy to spend it if you wanted to spend it.

You could easily dump a couple hundred billion into fusion research for example.

If it worked well you'd probably become a trillionaire, but no guarantes there.

That's not the kinda stuff that should be dictated by individual people just because they are rich, but by a democracy and/or a team of experts.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There are wealthy people in every civilization though?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Every civilization is not Western civilization.

Today I also learned about Musk’s racist rant against HBCU…

Every fucking day I think to myself that he couldn’t possibly be a worse person and every fucking day I’m proved wrong.

Super rich billionaires who are completely detached from all reality should filed be listed among 'Things legally required to be shot on sight’

Reminds me of:

"The Encyclopedia Galactica defines a robot as a mechanical apparatus designed to do the work of a man. The marketing division of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation defines a robot as "Your Plastic Pal Who's Fun to Be With. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy defines the marketing devision of the Sirius Cybernetic Corporation as "a bunch of mindless jerks who'll be the first against the wall when the revolution comes"

"Curiously enough, an edition of the Encyclopedia Galactica that had the good fortune to fall through a time warp from a thousand years in the future defined the marketing division of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation as "a bunch of mindless jerks who were the first against the wall when the revolution came.""

“And, for an instant, she stared directly into those soft blue eyes and knew, with an instinctive mammalian certainty, that the exceedingly rich were no longer even remotely human.” ― William Gibson, Count Zero

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 year ago

Wrong.

M.B.A.s are the reason western civ is dying.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago

Bought the whole platform so he could "tell it like it is" with his shitstained takes and is still too much of a coward? Come on buddy freeze peach!

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm wondering how many of his issues are because he's just an asshole, or if he's going through a long spell without pussy.

You know what, its probably because he's an asshole.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He's one of the richest men on earth. He could have hookers on retainer if he wanted.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Unfortunately his usual go-to for those services "didn't kill himself" a while ago.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Elon on twitter after he stubs his toe.

"Stubbed toes are causing climate change!"

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Toe stubbing is part of the woke agenda.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

He's just a stupid fuckin conspiracy theorist incel with money. He was raised with a silver spoon in his mouth and a golden parachute out his ass

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

I still asking why did Grimes had a relationship with him. Because she is the kind of person that I would never imagine having something with a far-right billionaire white dude.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Did you consciously write that to have the worst grammar possible? I felt my brain and soul die while reading it, it's so fucking bad it's not even funny.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Needlessly rude. You can correct people's grammar and spelling without being extreme.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

chill yer beans man, it's just that the first word should be "I'm" not "I"

hmmmm

Sim, meu anjo! Vai fazer o quê?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

To be fair, phony stark wasn't always far-right (or at least not publicly). He (like trump and many other bastards) were lefty earlier on before going full-on right wing. Doesn't make the Grimes thing make sense, but it plays a part no doubt.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

You would think he would quit getting married if he believed that.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

At this point, what woman is willing to let his dick anywhere near them? Traditionally, this is where you get zero pussy ever again for posting blatant incel shit.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Just keep fucking that chicken there Elon.
