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.

If you hate Elon so much why do you make a community about that and promote him?
I can see your perspective where you feel that any publicity is good publicity.
My perspective is that Elon is a dangerous force in our society that has managed to buy and lie his way to the top. If I stay quiet while he ruins our technologies, making them more fascist, he’ll gladly do it.
It is my civic duty to expose the same demographic (STEM tech bros) that he methodically targets to the reality of the man: that he’s a charlatan sociopath criminal hiding beneath a Tony Stark mystique.
I dream of a more just world where Elon Musk is locked in federal prison for fraud, insider trading, and the thousands of other crimes he openly commits.
