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.

I don't know, to me these kind of posts reek of the head-in-the-sand copium that led to Kamala losing and people here and on reddit being surprised. It's just blind to the reality of the situation and based entirely off of what people hope is happening behind the scenes.
I don't believe Musk is miserable. I don't think he's stressed. I don't think he actually gives a single shit about his losses because, even with them, the man still has more money than God. All his actions online point more to him being an internet troll than someone who's actually effected by any of it.
People love posting "Oooooh Musk's feelings got hurt! He must be really miserable!" Because that's literally all they have. There is literally nothing the common man can do to stop, slow down, or harm Musk in any way. So instead, people just post and hope that someway, somehow, Musk is secretly miserable all the time. Because it would just be so unfair if, on top of getting everything he ever wanted, he was happy too. And some people just can't fathom that they live in a world where that could be true; a world where the villains win, and no hero, or cosmic karma ever shows up to punish them for it.
