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.

That's generous wording.
Was coming here to say the same thing, he loves it way too much that it's the myth people stuck to. Musks company was folded into the company that eventually became paypal, but had nothing to do with virtual banks.
Plus none of this mentions he already had a fortune before starting any of it.
Even that's genereous wording.
Musk bought himself into Confinity(Peter Thiel and others company), made himself CEO and started making insane demands to the point where Peter Thiel quit and the board forced Musk out as CEO and replaced him with Thiel. (Musk wanted Thiel to rewrite his entire program from unix to windows, and the board knew that without him PayPal would never get off the ground.)
He did the same thing with Tesla(and other companies), bought his way into CEO and started making demands. But at that time he had a PA that kept his insane demands away from the crucial engineers and people working on important tasks. It's the same PA that stopped working for him a few months before his public reputation went to shit.
Actually, the company that later became PayPal was founded by Max Levchin, Peter Thiel, and Luke Nosek.
