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.

Tesla’s brand image has also been negatively impacted in the area of ethics. He ranked last on character in the Harris Poll and also performed poorly on morality and citizenship. A slew of controversies—from Musk’s reckless Nazi jokes to corporate culture issues and Autopilot incidents—have fueled the perception that Tesla is not just a struggling company, but one fundamentally out of touch with consumer values. The company is making sweeping changes with incentives and the promise of a $25,000 electric car, but regaining trust may require more than just a new model.

Musk's Nazi salute to Trump will define him for the rest of his life.

It was TWO nazi salutes. He turned around and made sure that everyone in the back could see him doing his nazi salute.

Everyone cheered! All those republicans saw that nazi salute, cheered, saw another nazi salute, and cheered again. At a presidential inauguration.

That defines an entire political party for the rest of your life.

Elonazi (n): nepo garbage, fascist prick

No "reckless nazi jokes", he's a fucking nazi! A bold and public nazi that donates to the closest thing to a nazi party in GERMANY. Because he funds nazis. Because he's a modern-day nazi.

It's simple. And of course, everyone that isn't a nazi knows that and doesn't support anything having anything to do with him. Even despite assholeish reporters that say things like "reckless nazi jokes" that try to convince me that he's not a nazi, he's still a nazi. Acting like a nazi every single day. Doing nazi things. Saying nazi things. Making sure that nazi policies are followed around the entire globe.

The only people buying anything related to musk are nazis, too. That just makes nazis easier to be singled out in public.

I'll support whatever gets most people a better life. Having said that, I don't think we need this level of analysis. There isn't a good person with this much money. Anyone with a conscience would use it to help people. This is why billionaires can't solve social issues. They wouldn't be billionaires anymore.

promises of a $25,000 car

Is it May already?

something about promises to investors ?

I like how Elonazi’s solution for his failing brand is to make a cheaper model by over 50%. What could possibly go wrong?! Hope I’m nowhere nearby when we get to find out.

His promises very obviously can't be trusted. I'm not sure there's a single promise regarding price much less timeline that he has fulfilled. He also promised to get out of the politics but is still traveling around with Trump.
