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.

I'm not shielding Elon Musk in any way you dolt. Rub those two functional brain cells you have left and think critically about my first message again.
I'm saying that by stooping to the level of the nutjobs on the right by Photoshoping or using AI to make fake images of someone we hate we are making ourselves look bad unnecessarily. Elon is already a hideous shitbag all on his own. We don't need to do any boosting of his shittiness with fakery.
But I'm sure you have no issue with a political cartoonist drawing an unflattering image of Trump or Musk that hyperbolizes their less flattering aspects.
Art satirizing power is as old as time.
I don't think I need to explain the difference between a clearly satirical drawn image vs a convincing looking photo that has been altered disingenuously.
I'd love to hear whatever pretzel-logic nonsense you can come up with. Let's have it.

Please do
Y'all are cooked if you can't see how those things differ.
If you take a drawn cartoon of Elon and that picture of Elon and just send them out into wild without any additional information or context nobody is going to share the cartoon under the false assumption that it's real. The altered photo will absolutely trick most people as evidence that many people here didn't know this image wasn't real right away.
Having the viewer be aware of the exaggeration is important.
That would make sense and I see what you’re saying, but that has historically not worked ever. This exact argument has been happening with liberals and leftists for longer than I’ve been born, and history has proved this ideology to only help fascism. Understand where I’m coming from so we can meet half way here man.
