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.

Dude really has no idea how society works. It's so fascinating to see so publicly.

He truly is the dumbest genius around

He thinks he can do everything he wants because he has the money.

Yep, I came in to same thing. Dumb fuck thinks that because he's the richest person in the world, he's above the law.

I mean. Sadly most of his life has been evidential proof that this idea is almost entirely true. Let's not kid ourselves.

I wonder why anyone would think that,.

He has to be the most impotent billionaire ever

I can think of at least one dumber, but he's pretty close to the top of the list.

Musk probably fired the person responsible for setting this up.

He really needs to start doing some basic research before undertaking a project.

Want to use a bunch of heavy machinery on the street?

Things to check beforehand: Do we need some kind of permit? How do we get approval from the city? How do we make sure the vehicle operators are licensed?

Want to change the logo to a random letter of the alphabet?

Things to check beforehand: How valuable was the existing logo? How will the public and userbase react to the change? Is the new logo something we can copyright or trademark? Does anyone else already own the rights to the new logo? Does anyone already own the domain name associated with the new brand name?

Regulations are for other people
