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.

we literally had the numbers to accomplish every single political agenda that actually helps working Americans

Great! Now all you need is a candidate who runs on that.

Well, we're certainly not winning now.

That should tell you something.

Narrator: It didn't.

2024 was the biggest decline in votership (relative to the previous election: eg, participation) of the previous 40 years.

Democrats:

Sure looks to me like both Dems and people who couldn't give enough of a shit to prevent fascist oligarchy are at fault. And neither side is likely to take responsibility for their actions in this lifetime.

I'm sure looking forward to a significantly increased chance of my loved ones dying violent deaths because non-voters wanted to "send a message" in a manner that has never resulted in positive change in modern history. /S

Do you want to win, or do you want to believe you are right in regards to electoralism and strategy.

You have to choose. You don't get to have both.
