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.

Apparently it only counts if you hurt people physically. Hurting their finances, support systems, healthcare, employment prospects are all fine.
I find it telling he had the self awareness to add that caveat, but in typical fashion, couldn't follow the train of thought far enough to arrive at the logical conclusion. "I've taken away safety nets from the people, most are one paycheck short of being on the streets with nothing to lose, but what's up with all these threats!?"
There's a recent unironic Hitler Did Nothing Wrong sentiment that points out he never pulled the trigger or a lever on anyone.
I think Musk is going that route.
It's also been used to defend Brian the dead health insurance CEO.
You mean the one he specifically amplified on his own site? Methinks he sees some parallels himself.
He thinks he's orders of magnitude smarter than anyone else and nobody with guts could possibly see those parallels.
Frankly, we've been doing a great job of proving him correct.
He's still quite happy, healthy, and wealthy.
I highly doubt he is happy
I think he's about as happy as any human being can be. Sure he has his less than perfect, probably performative sad moments on camera, but as they say, it's hard to frown on a jetski.
I know this is beside the point & off topic, but Hitler is well known for pulling the trigger at least once...

He did what many time travelers aspire to.
