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.

Money can buy expensive voice modulation software, but it apparently can't buy one's way out of stupidity. Using the same speech patterns, grammar, inflection, and laugh... he really isn't the brightest spark in the tesla coil, is he?
He never had the right to use the name Tesla, especially because Tesla was the underdog in electricity that was burned by the same capitalism he’s championing. He’s hired very smart people and then thinks that by hiring said people he’s on their level, classic capitalist mistake
I don't know why, but I find it very funny that Elon is basically Edison and using Tesla's name and also that there's an underdog electric truck company named Edison motors that's basically making a fully electric semi with an onboard motor specifically because the dude got fucked on a Tesla semi.
I think an Edison-like company appropriating Tesla's name is peak Edison behavior.
I'm pretty sure they where named Tesla before Musk first invested in them.
To do otherwise would require the awareness that other people have different speech patterns. I'm surprised his narcissism let him think using a different name would influence people.
Voice changer software is super cheap too
