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'm more convinced than ever that one of his main goals has been to ruin twitter for non-conservatives. That's even more important than making it a more useful platform for conservatism.
His Saudi backers have not forgiven or forgotten the Arab Spring.
Oh, absolutely. So essentially the whole purchase is about suppressing speech wealthy people don't like or feel threatened by, and promoting speech they prefer. If they had to choose one or the other, they'd choose just shutting twitter down.
