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.

As I saw this I had a thought. It's long been touted that Trump doesn't really have any money he's just massively in debt and lives by borrowing against his assets. Not sure if this is true or not.
However if it is, what if Musk just bought up all that debt. So all the money Trump owes he owes to Musk.
Effectively then he owns the president.
Was that not the concern in 2016 as well? That he had large debts to undisclosed people who might influence him, "off the record."
You mean Russia?
Again I remember rumours about that then as well. It seems as though this is an advanced version of that, crystallising into one person.
