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've also seen people say "Snopes debunked Elon's Nazi salutes"
"Do the gesture on video, exactly like Musk did, and let me show it to your boss."
Also, if it looks enough like a Nazi salute for half the country and most of the world to think that's what it was, then why didn't Musk come out and address it by denouncing Nazis and apologizing for the unintended similarity? Why did he double down on it with a tone deaf Nazi joke? No serious person in such a powerful position would do that. So at best, he's an unserious idiot who shouldn't have his fingers in our government, and at worst, he's a Nazi.
Ultimately though, if you're talking to someone who is still making excuses for Musk doing a Nazi salute, there's very little chance they are ever going to admit that it definitely was a Nazi salute, short of Musk himself coming out and saying "it was a Nazi salute because I'm a Nazi."
