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.

"You're dead to me" is what a bad parent would say. To do it over political ideology is even worse.

I think this is innately a deeply personal issue to him - and he is now going to train the firepower of "the richest person on the planet" on everyone. thats where the politics and ideological alignment may come in.

one hell of a (sad?) real life "super-villain" origin story. the man needs mental help, and derision, but a lot of serious mental help.

The richest man in the world can buy anything except the love and admiration of his own child.

He's a narsassistic asshole who apparently did IVF for all his kids because he wanted all boys.

That one of the kids ended up being a girl because she's trans despite his effort at avoiding it seems to drive him crazy, especially as someone who thinks he owns his children.

he's an asshole like all conservatives.

His kid isn't dead, she just doesn't go by that name anymore, and it is supremely dickish to treat her like that.

musk is clearly a deeply disturbed human being. this explains a lot and is, in and of itself, deeply disturbing.

is vivian the only close person who refused to be what he wanted them to be? the closest person that could not be bought and said "no!"? is this what broke him?

now everyone will pay for his inability to accept the truth and reality of another person.

One man's transphobia and horrible parenting is tearing this country to pieces. This is the worst possible timeline. I can't even begin to imagine what his daughter is feeling right now.

It's far from just the one man.

[–] Kit@lemmy.blahaj.zone 79 points 1 week ago

That's absolutely true. I transitioned over a decade ago and have never had a problem until Republicans randomly decided that trans people were a target recently. A buddy of mine transitioned 35 years ago and he's in absolute pieces over the state of the country right now. He was harassed just yesterday while taking a walk, because he's out and proud in the neighborhood. I'm absolutely terrified to see how bad this will get.

Man... Imagine actually losing a child, and then seeing this man call his daughter dead simply because she is trans.

It's actually an unbelievably awful and sad thought... And it's not hypothetical. It's very real.

Fucking called her Xavier, I would change that even if I wasn't trans

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.

This isn't the right thread to post it on, but no he can be shittier. He even pulled a preemptive Adolf Eichmann when he said that he never physically hurt anyone. This is what Eichmann said at his trial. That he never killed a Jew or ordered anyone to kill a Jew.

That was, of course, irrelevant. He was the architect of the holocaust and his actions are what allowed the 20 million victims to die.
