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.

Upvotes were very high so there had to be something.

People here don’t have any media literacy skills and it’s driving me crazy.

Because the people who didn't get the joke are going, "Ohh!"

Those of us who did, we appreciate you explaining quickly before the thread degenerated. Plus you were concise, not pedantic or condescending.

But what if we like pedantry and condescension?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Yeah, why should the pain inflicted by stupidity be a one way street.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

That's a good joke

Happened to me on Reddit all the time. Had a comment that imo was a goddamned hilarious gem and it gets +27

Then I just write some throwaway trash that gets hundreds or thousands. Couldn't make it happen if I tried
