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 was arguing with people online that he's a piece of shit for years and kept getting downvoted by fanboys talking about him being Tony Stark.
This isn't some look how smart I was comment, I just assumed he was a piece of shit because he was a billionaire and I assume every billionaire is a piece of shit unless an overwhelming amount of evidence is presented.
Moral of the story is, never worship celebrities and certainly never worship billionaires, unless they are fictional ie batman, then you can like them since it's inconsequential.
Even Batman sucks, his existence is to protect the rich.
Explain? I know he takes out big name criminals who might be upset at the system, but they're also fucking shit up.
Batman is a rich dude who loses his parents to crime. Instead of using his vast wealth to address the root causes of crime, he goes out at night in fancy dress and beats up poor folk.
Batman is the most reactionary of superheroes, arguably worse than Punisher, and that's even before Mark Miller got his hands on him.
Is that really about protecting the Rich though?
Not helping the poor does not equal protecting the Rich.
He's taking his vengeance out on criminals.
Nah. It's propping up the system. That protects the riches.
