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.

A reminder that this is a 52 year old man(child).
Savedyouaclick: the name change he's proposing is "Dickipedia"
Step 1. Rename to "Dickipedia" and prominently feature Musk's face on the splash page
Step 2. Collect $1 billion
Step 3. Change it back
He asked for an one year minimum because "he's not a fool"
Did he specify one Earth year though? ‘Cause Mercury completes a trip around the Sun in less than three months. If we include exoplanets we could get it down to less than a day.
What's it going to take for this man to go away?
I could tell you, but then I would get banned.
I completely agree.
That guy definitely wasn't hugged often enough as a child.
"It certainly isn't needed to operate Wikipedia. You can literally fit a copy of the entire text on your phone!" tweeted Musk. "So, what's the money for? Inquiring minds want to know … "
Elon Musk went fully Pointy-Haired Boss and proudly demonstrated that he doesn't know neither the technical requirements for running one of the most popular websites in the world, nor the financial costs associated with it.
But he did it already and we knew that already.
Those wvo say they should accept seems to have forget the world hunger episode. He would give the billion to his own fundation.
And again - no matter how much money he might have so what the reality might be, whenever I visualize Musk posting to used-to-be-twitter, I see him as a greasy teenager in cum-stained sweatpants, hunched over an off-the-shelf desktop PC on a rickety desk in a room with fake wood paneling and green shag carpet in a trashy suburban tract house, furiously tapping away at a grimy keyboard and giggling to himself.
You made me see it with words! Well written!
