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.

Isn't it funny how this joker thinks we'll stand up for Bill "Lifelong Massive Dickhead" Gates?

We had programs in the 70s and 80s that weren't perfect but did help and were funded by corporate tax dollars. Reagan killed them I believe. It might have been at the same time is was lying about the "welfare queens"

Is homelessness really Musk’s problem to solve?

Elon Musk and his companies, particularly Tesla and SpaceX, have received at least $38 billion in government funding through contracts, loans, subsidies, and tax credits, according to a Washington Post analysis.

I would say that Musk is a product of government largese better spent on direct aid and public infrastructure improvements.

The $38B should not have been his money to spend to begin with.

It's a service paid in exchange for labor. The government likely has many others services being paid that can also be used for that end

Imagine confusing public services and cronyism like this. I bet you think the "Bitcoin reserve" Trump is making is a service, too
