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.

Just going to leave this here:

Musk, who is known for being a self-assigned “free speech absolutist”, has previously claimed that he is “against censorship that goes far beyond the law. If people want less free speech, they will ask the government to pass laws to that effect”.

He has also claimed that “free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy, and Twitter is the digital town square where matters vital to the future of humanity are debated.”

Free speech for everyone who agrees with him

Just going to leave this here:

Why are you even here if you STILL believe any demonstrably false thing that the guy says?

What part of my post gives you the impression I believe anything Musk says, let alone something demonstrably false?

Did I need to put a /s on my post? Also, define "still here" when this was a hot post breifly in the top 6 hour slot, and not a community I'm subbing. I just don't understand how someone can misunderstand a post this badly. I guess the jokes on me and /s needs to be provided for those who miss context.

It has been a long time. I think the statute of limitations has expired on my requirement to reply. I am glad that you also don't believe Musk.
