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.

Elon is so creepy with his AI art. Looking forward to when he generates images of a happy family (slrpnk.net)

All value is subjective. I happen to believe humans' ability to empathize across species is both beautiful and beneficial for the long-term sustainability of our species. Having empathy for other species helps us to understand the role nature plays in our lives, and to assert agency over the role we play in nature. Lacking empathy for animals allows us to see them as property, and humans tend to have an extractive and ultimately self-destructive disposition towards property.
