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.

after coming under fire for a gesture he made at a Trump inaugural event that was likened to a Nazi salute by foreign leaders and Democrats.

Oh get the fuck out of here forbes, you're part of the fucking problem. That was a full on sieg heil, and the piece of shit did it twice. It was not a likeness to it, the oligarch fuckwit was unequivocally heiling.

The 2nd one was even more clearer & Europeans are the authority on what's is a Sieg Heil & what is not, Americans don't get to decide that

Anyone who calls it a "gesture" should be made to do it in a public setting on camera.

"Do the gesture"

the billionaire has denied he made a Nazi salute and played off backlash with Nazi puns

Another claim that he actually denied doing it. Can anyone point to the quote of his denying it was a Nazi salute? Lots of publications speaking for him.

I don't recall him saying "it wasn't a nazi salute, I apologize for the confusion, my absolute bad, naziism is wrong and abhorrent" anything short of that isn't denying it

I keep seeing the claim that he has refuted it without evidence of such. Trying to rewrite history.

"The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." Feels appropriate here
