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.

Easy enough to disprove. Do the hand recounts in the supposedly affected states. If those hand recounts aren't done, there's going to be a lot of progressives who spend the next four years looking as lunatic as the "stop the steal" people - with the difference being that there was a really easy way to disprove the lunacy that wasn't used, whereas the "stop the steal" was disproven multiple times and even went to court repeatedly.

So, what I'm saying, just do the damn recount so we can put this thing to rest.

Nah, harris already threw in the towel. She will not call for a recount, i guarantee it.

I'm actually pissed off at the Democratic party about just rolling over.

If Harris won you're damn sure we'd be flooded with "investigations", "evidence", lawsuits and recounts. The news would be flooded with it.

Once Trump won all that shit just disappeared even though the reds have been prepping to fight for months.

Harris had a shit ton of money donated to her campaign. Why not hire a shit ton of lawyers and set them loose??

Democrat Strategy: Beg, then bend over and spread wide.

(Not that there's anything wrong with that in your private life, but when you're in public office, you kinda have a responsibility to be representatively picky about who you bend over for)

So instead we're going to have to listen to half-baked conspiracy theories for the next few years in addition to everything else. Gah!

i remember the gore voters in 2000 who insisted it had been stolen.

and it was.

true that. exactly.

do the manual recounts since the software was compromised and tons of computer specialists are worried about that and let's put it to rest.

I don't even think they need to do entire states before deciding whether a widespread recount is needed.

IIRC there are even specific counties with headscratching results in battleground states. Grab a handful of those. If there's fire, it will be found, and then we can mobilize for a wider recount. I'm sure that's still a shitload of work, but prob less than recounting an entire state.

I've been hoping that this is their plan, but I'll admit that (especially given her concession) each passing day I have less faith in this.

The AOC "what happened was massive, you all need to just wait a minute while we figure out what we're doing" (paraphrase) video from a few days ago gave me a little spark of hope, but I suspect even that was not her saying anything other than "we're going to do what we can to mitigate the damage."
