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.

I did say maybe it wasn't crystals, but a guy did spend a bunch of time in the hospital, that happened. And it's not a random person, it's my partner who told me this, not some random person. I did concede that it may not be crystals, literally said that. But he did spend a bunch of time in the hospital, that is a fact. Don't know why people would keep telling me I'm wrong about someone spending time in the hospital.

No, you walked back your claim after being called out for playing the "My partner knows someone it happened to" in response to the guy that said crystals were nonsense made up to scare 60s kids.

Just admit you were wrong instead of doubling down on changing your claim, it doesn't mean you lose the game, everything is made up and the points don't matter.

I literally just said maybe it wasn't crystals in his brain. Read the comments above. Why are you still wasting your time here?

Do I need to issue an apology, and write a letter too to say I was wrong? Jesus, people on the internet...

In all reality, I don't sit on here all day and night like it's a live chat, I comment when I come back by and see a reply notification, don't get a big head about it.

Read the comments above instead of just reacting, and maybe knock off that whole strategy of projecting your own insecurities and actions to deflect.

Jesus, people on the internet...
