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.

I get where you are coming from. I was genuinely surprised at your comment as many others I have seen from you have been thoughtful or usefully provocative. my primary point was to reinforce that harm happens on so many different layers - socially and personally. hate symbolism is a rot that spreads quickly unless pushed back on in the strongest social terms.
your reply stands on its own so not much else for me to comment on there. happy to see you engaged.
Yeah, I get that. It's definitely not harmless. I was just trying to contrast it against all the illegal or directly overly violent stuff that they're doing, maybe I was a little too quick in the way I was trying to say it.
