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.

It's not because his daughter is trans. It's because his daughter is trans and Grimes is with Chelsea Manning now.

I really never really understood Grimes and Musk. I mean, how can she?

It's actually kinda cute. Apperently they started DMing because one of them made a reference to a classic AI thought experiment (aka bonding over an unexpected shared interest) and one thing led to another and they had an extended relationship of sorts

It's like the most normal human thing about Musk so I can't really fault him or Grimes for having a real human experience that I'm sure we all either have or at some point will experience
