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.

I could see Elon buying the fediverse so he can influence all 12 Linux devs and the 30 StarTrek fans that browse it.

Hey, there a couple of Linux users here too!

I feel like the one and only mac user. My phone is always Android though, never had an iPhone.

How dare you. No really, how dare you!

Star Trek is two words.

I don't think the fediverse can really be bought. At least not directly.

Well, if you take 44 Billion and offer each instance owner a piece, I'm sure most wouldn't necessarily say no.

Hell, for even just $1M per instance, I'll be happy to start up a dozen to sell him.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'd start up a few dozen just to refuse selling them at any cost

Spite is more precious than any gold

Fill it with bots and tell him $3M is a steal
