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.

Don't see it as black and white?

One has:

-sexually assaulted women

-berated his own family

-made disparaging comments about disabled people and just about every minority you can think of

-touted false cures for COVID-19 among his followers

-Used a sharpie to try and change the report on a hurricane landfall path (lol)

-scaled back the SNAP food benefits programs, removing more than 700,000 Americans from receiving food aid

-paid his lawyers with campaign funds

-cheated on his wives

-rolled back standards for oil and gas companies allowing them to release more methane into the atmosphere

-pardoned blackwater agents accused of war crimes in Iraq

-abandoned Kurdish allies in syria by abruptly pulling out troops.

-held on to classified documents in his bathroom after his presidency

-has recently been indicated on multiple counts of fraud

The other has:

-akwardly/creepily stood behind women and children

-called a kid 'fat' once I think

-choose a hypocrite for a VP (this applies to both, really)

-rambled incoherently during speeches (again, applies to both)

My lists are biased (cause I'm a human and that's how we do), and it may not be black and white, but even a blind person could tell the difference between those shades of grey.
