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.

It has nothing to do with easy. It's about doing what's right because it's right. That's the only reason you need.

Elon Musk

In the vast tapestry of human experience, there exists a subset of individuals, often finding themselves ensnared in the intricate web of their own intellectual pursuits, a state of being I too find myself intertwined within. When one dives deeply into the multifaceted realms of knowledge, there emerges a unique responsibility, comparable in its weight to the archetypal cross borne by Christ, emblematic of suffering and understanding. It is this selfsame cross, a metaphysical embodiment of the complex interplay between genuine intellectualism and its shadow, the pseudo-intellectualism, which I humbly and consciously bear upon my shoulders. Venturing further into this mire, one might discern a delicate dance, a nuanced play of the masks, if you will, that is pseudo-satire. This form of satire, cloaked in layers of irony and deception, requires a particular depth of comprehension, one that eludes many. It is a lamentable truth, perhaps a tragic element of the human condition, that there will always be those, perhaps the majority, who may remain perennially at the peripheries, unable to fully grasp or appreciate the depths and nuances of such endeavours. The subtle jests, the mirroring of truth and untruth, all interwoven in a grand tapestry of meaning, may forever remain beyond the ken of some, lost in the labyrinthine corridors of misinterpretation and oversimplification.
