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.

The guy owns the US government. Waking up to what? That he’s unimpugnable and only going to grow more wealthy until the US crashes and burns?

They’re waking up to the idea that his actions may impact them personally instead of just everybody else on the planet.

$TSLA is down 30% since Q4, costing Musk $106 Billion. Even better, he already put up half of his shares as collateral for personal loans.

Don't worry, the feds will throw enough money at Tesla (and Musk's other businesses) to keep him richer than God. Plus, he's seizing control of the regulators who oversee financial institutions, any creditors who come after him could be risking serious retribution.

You always put a loan on your pumped up stock. The loan is the clean money.

Yeah, you even get to live tax free using that strategy.

Oh no, Tesla stock is only up 500% over the last five years. That'll show him.

I'm feeling as hopeless as you (probably) are, but every fall has to start somewhere. Just give it a chance.

[–] HeyJoe@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago

Honestly, I'm starting to agree with this as well. I feel like i saw this same article maybe a month ago and the same comments as this, but at that time I think it was only half of the drop it's at now. Keep it going!

I don't ask for much, but the everything bubble bursting due to Elon getting rekt in some way, is very close to the top.

Unions have been protesting Shitsla since late 2023 here in Sweden.

Wait . . they're becoming woke??!?!

I sort of want to buy some long dated tesla puts. Feels like it's only a matter of time until someone shoots him.
