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.

When is he going to jail again? He profited from selling overpriced stocks and colluded with enemies of the state.

So is he getting investigated for aiding an enemy of America during a time of war?

Well america isn't at war with Russia and he specifically didn't aid anyone here. I hate this fucker as much as anyone but what you've said makes no sense

Just like gps, a global ring of satellites are of vital interest to the defense of the United States. We need to create set of global satellites to replace the star link model.

No longer should nato subsides be sent to starlink.

Meanwhile the NSA, CIA, DoD, and probably Biden himself having full access to the entire network because military industrial complex go brrrrrrr

That is not exactly true. While it is true that the military brought Starlinks over to Poland and Musk gave 1500 units to Ukraine as well. There was a lot of back and forth because technically you are not supposed to use a commercial product for actual military operations. For everday activities it was fine but when Ukraine started sending drone feeds over the systems and supplied those feeds to the US Forces, it sort of crossed a line and they had to start negotiating the terms in the contracts as well as scaling back the usage. So all along Musk has been walking a fine line with being complicit with his tech being used for war and trying to avoid it.

Let me clarify I am not a Musk apologist, I am just adding some context. I still do not like that he can seemingly over reach like this, but if the terms were not in place and negotiating was not done he is within his rights.

Not respecting an emergency government request and working in Russian favour, another brilliant move from mr. Musk!

Call him before congress to ask about this.

Take over his shitty company already. He is actively aiding US enemies.
