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.

Starting to think the reason Elon opposes the "woke mind virus" is not because his daughter is trans, but because he keeps getting owned so fucking hard by her

[–] [email protected] 32 points 3 months ago

so fucking hard by her

Would this be uncharted territory for him?

i'm gonna frame this post and send it to my father

I had a friend who took a shit in a shoebox and mailed it to his father. I never met his father and I don't know what he did, but his mother is the sweetest woman in the universe and my friend is an amazingly nice guy, so whatever it was, it must have been really bad.

That's Threads, not Twitter.

Also, fucking good for her. She's awesome.

Oh my God that comment about being bullied by him for being feminine. I felt that in my fucking soul. I got that shit so much from my father when I was younger. About the stupidest shit too.

I had this baby doll that I apparently loved when I was little. I was too young to remember having it, but when my brother was a baby apparently I'd follow my mom around with it and while she took care of my brother if she was doing something that I couldn't help with I'd take care of my baby doll.

He hated this fucking doll with a passion. Didn't want me to have it because he was convinced I'd grow up to be gay if I had it. Only the word he used was worse. He ended up jumping at the chance to give the doll away to a family they were acquainted with lost their house in a fire and their daughter had no toys left because he could get away with it then. But his hate for this fucking doll was crazy. Like it was impossible for me to become a parent one day and gasp take care of my own child.

I did have a love of musical and theater when I was four, but that's because my dad was a film historian who also loved Stephen Sondheim, so half of what I listened to growing up was showtunes... but I'm guessing if that was true about Musk's daughter, it was Musk who was playing the music.

But yeah, I have a cassette tape of me somewhere (sort of) singing "Soon" from A Little Night Music when I was something like 18 months old.

Anyway, fuck Musk and I'm glad his daughter called him out on his bullshit. She also made sure she put it in the court record that she disowned him when she legally changed her name. She didn't have to do that, she just wanted it in the legal record that she did not consider him her father. Much respect for that with someone with a normal bigot father, but when your father is one of the richest men in the world? She's fucking amazing.

How low do you have to be in order to make up bullshit about your kid, the kid YOU Neglected?

[–] [email protected] 38 points 3 months ago

Child goes on Threads, not twitter. She used Zuck's platform to tear down her father

[–] [email protected] 36 points 3 months ago

I'm so fucking poor compared to Musk. His wealth grants him access to so many things I'll never have access to. He is financially far more successful than I will likely ever be. I don't feel any envy though. He's so life and love poor that I feel like his superior simply because my family loves and respects me, and I feel the same towards them.

He's a loser. It's a weird thing to say about a guy who can buy my entire neighborhood and tear it down for funsies, but he makes it so clear. No matter how much he has, he'll always be a pathetic loser. He's proof positive that money does not buy happiness.

Fuck Elon. But also, how do you know what you said when you were 4? My 4 year old says a lot of shit.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I think the chances that his daughter said and did stereotypical gay things when she was four according to a guy who lies all the time are low.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 3 months ago (8 children)

it's pretty easy to know you didn't start using some words until you learned them at a particular age.

I think you missed the part where he wasn't around when she was four years old. How does he know what she said when he left her to be raised by her mom and nannies?

One thing Elon doesn't seem to understand is that no matter how many billions of dollars he spends to "combat the woke mind virus", it will never make his daughter love him. Accepting her and loving her unconditionally would, but that requires a level of emotional maturity that Elon simply doesn't possess and no amount of money can buy for him.

Rich people are far too often bankrupt in the matters of the heart and soul.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Not that I doubt them, but I sure as hell can't remember anything from when I was 4, so I'd be unable to definitely rebuke any claims about my actions during that time.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 3 months ago (6 children)

I remember the important stuff from when I was 4. I liked picture books, computer games, playing on the swing, and hot wheels. We didn't have a computer at home but we had one at school and I liked playing the educational games. Also I tried a pear when I was 4 and I hated it. I still do. Fuck pears!

One of the crazy parts of growing up with a narcissist is recognizing that you are supposed to stop their bullshit. They are in charge as a parent, so being a fucking kid means you think them lying about shit to glorify their mistakes is what is supposed to happen. And to be safe you go along with it.

It is not pleasant to be expelled from an abusive, controlling, narcissistic family to the world only to become a mark to every dark triad person on the planet.

And to find the good in that world is nigh impossible without almost endless resources.
