Enough Musk Spam

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.

Stop using the damn bird site. Twitter/X is live proof that people will glad trade their principles for a large enough follower count.

Burn him alive publicly. It's the only way modern society will take this shit seriously.

Don't burn him. Slow cook him, that way we can eat him

Are you a 250°F/120°C dude or a 325°F/160°C dude? Gotta know how much charcoal to buy.

Gonna disagree with my taliCAN friend there and say we taliSHOULDN'T. Heh heh heh. Ah kinder, gentler scorched earth economic approach is how we'll deal with this situation that will not stand, man.

Personally I will be treating any Xitterers like MAGAts, as that's sort of what they are (and I don't have time to build a whole backstory for Xitterers. It's just not worth it.).

It's been long enough. Figure out Mastodon or - ??? Xitter is not acceptable. Local governmental agencies, all news agencies, OG Twits, this goes for everyone. Out of the pool!

The DoD and other government agencies relying on Musk is a national security threat and should be recognized as such.

If it's some loser being a bigot, sure, ignore them, but when it's one of the richest and most powerful people on the planet, it's too late to put your fingers in your ears and shout LALALALALALALALA, he isn't going anywhere and pretending otherwise only enables him more.
