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.

Even if they do, it's still a win for Musk. He got what he wanted out of the deal. He got the ability to rewrite the feed algorithms as he saw fit, and steer a large portion of online public discourse towards getting Trump re-elected. Tough to say how much of a factor this was, but it definitely contributed. The money he lost on Twitter, he'll make back.
We all laughed at him for setting the platform on a course of destruction, and that may yet still happen, but he got the last laugh out of it. Props to him, I guess.
