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.

Which is a shame, cause Woods is a great actor. Oh well.
Yeah, for sure. Man, I honestly wish there was a way to prevent knowing the details about the lives of artists I like. So many actors and musicians have ended up standing for things that I think are disgusting, and it's ruined their content for me in many cases. And I don't follow celebrity gossip/"news" at all unless it hits the front page, but sometimes it's just unavoidable.
There's actually a musician I like who has been around for a long time and I've managed not to know anything about his political beliefs or whatever. I'm not even going to mention his name here because I just know someone will say, "Wait, you didn't know he was convicted of eating baby eyeballs" or something like that.
this happened with me and mixed martial arts fighters growing up.. and yes i know they make their living getting bashed in the head, but what drew me in was the self discipline and humility aspect of it from a few of the fighters at the top.
one of them was most beloved not only because of how domniant he was but also his kindness and cheerful personality outside of it.. only to find out he lets former controversial brazilian presidential candidate jair bolsonaro live in his USA home.
Yep, seems like it's better not to know, but I also hate having my head in the sand.
I'm so curious who it is. Can you dm me? I swear I won't share what I find out.
The guy really shouldn't be that worried about it. Pretty sure he's talking about Ian Watkins from Lostprophets, who did some shit basically as bad as eating baby eyeballs, and who's name i can't remember half the time, and what band the other half. I wasn't a fan but I know a lot of them just couldn't keep listening.
They had a really catchy song on the radio at a point where all my car had was FM radio. It was weird finding out what he did.
Disney Hercules and John Carpenters Vampires are bangers.
I loved him in Videodrome. Too bad he's a complete fucknut.
