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.

No. He just stopped letting his PR people manage his twitter account. The man had a falling out with his father because his father married his step sister before he could. His family was never well.

Elon's father did take for his third wife, the daughter of his second wife, with her previous partner. This was decades after he disowned Elon. Might as well mention Elon did not inherit any emerald mine money either.

My guess is that Elon's ego was hurt when Vivian started the process of legally changing her name from Xavier to Vivian. To a narcissist like Elon, that is a personal attack and he is small brained enough that he would allow himself to become radicalized over something as petty as his kid rejecting the name he gave them and taking on another.

It's just me speculating, but considering how hysterical he got over his submarine getting rejected in the cave rescue mission and how he paid for the rescuer who rejected him to be investigated for pedophilia and took it all the way to the courts, I wouldn't put it past him that the catalyst for him joining MAGA was Vivian's name change. He is that pathetic.

According to Vivian he also paid extra to have them select only male embryos during the in vitro process, or something like that (not sure about the details and correct terminology) - and didn't get what he paid for in Vivian's case... Which I guess probably also contributed.

sub-human

Pfff, I wish. Perfectly typical.

Dude doesn't live in reality. And yet somehow the fact that he designed his own babies doesn't surprise me in the slightest. It is probably one of the least bizarre things about Elon.

The fact that he was named after a fictitious character who colonizes Mars and that his entire life's mission is to live out the "prophecy" his own father put upon him because of some cringe sci-fi story written by a literal NASA-nazi is still one of the weirdest fucking factoids about him.

If he wasn't such a pos, I would almost feel bad for Elon and his massive daddy issues.

Saving some storage space by not reuploading!

Nah. He was just lying because he thought he needed to to get richer.
