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.

Does anyone has a logical explanation of why Elon is supporting Trump? Why is he going to this length, alienate many of his supporters by supporting an political party. What's is the end goal, since nothing makes sense right now.

He basically lost his marbles after his daughter disowned him and Biden didn't invite him to some electric car event a few months after he was elected. I think his drug use also plays a big part. It's just the typical trajectory of someone who obtained a lot of power and then just shuts out all criticism and just thinks he's the smartest and knows everything best. History is full of examples and it never ends well.

He's been known as a Republican donor for a very long time, even back when he was pretending to be decent.

He was always a major asshole, but he wasn't always completely off his rocker.

Drug use? Like what? Never seen anything about that.

Edit: Oh... Ketamine.

Yeah, why so you think that is?
