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.

X is what he first called PayPal, I wonder if this is just some sad fantasy for Musk.

He had a company/brand called X which did the same thing as PayPal and merged with Confinity, who made PayPal. He wanted to use the X name for PayPal, but everyone else at the company nixed it.

Dude's a cringey edgelord I'm surprised all of his don't have an x in their names

SpaceX, Model X, X.com (pre PayPal), and even named his son X. Dude's got a weird obsession with making X work.
