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 just saying, it's such an impact, according to you, please give me the very easy to find examples you have off the top of your head

Defending celebrities? What, did an actor steal your mom away from your dad or something? I don't know any or give a shit about anyone in Hollywood bud, keep your vivid imagination going if that makes you feel better.

The real point is they're not worth the effort if we're going to address real issues. You really think commercials are what are ruining so many people's lives? Really, you're that dense?

Why are you fighting so hard to not give an example?

You want examples of celebrities who have a fan base? What for?

To be honest I don’t even know what point you’re attempting to make.

You responded to my original comment about how I think that it’s unhealthy for people to have an obsession with celebrities and for whatever reason you decided to focus on the wrong part.

Are you trying to say that billionaires are worse? I am not disagreeing. All I am saying is that people need to stop giving a fuck what celebrities are doing and what they think. People need to focus more on individualism instead of some moron fad a celebrity is into.

I want celebrities who have ruined lives with their "influence"

And what are you going to do with said information? Are you writing a book?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You said being a fan of celebrities is dangerous to society. You said it was due to their influence. Really just trying to give you the benefit of the doubt that you had a point. Since you're so insistent refusing to come up with anything, I guess not

If you really think it’s a huge leap in critical thinking to imagine how someone can use their celebrity status to abuse people then that sounds like you’re extremely naive. That’s how you end up with assholes Bill Cosby. What’s the matter little buddy? Are you not getting enough attention at home?

There's a lot of insecure projection going on, and you're so cranky just for being asked for examples and clarification.

I didn't ask how. I asked what. You finally named a single celebrity, bravo, you're not as stupid as I gave you credit for
