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.
Elon Musk, Tucker Carlson, Jim Jordan, McCarthy, Dinesh D’Souza, Donald Trump, Jordan Peterson, “endwokeness” - wonderful influences for a fucked up man-child.
Reactionary right figures inspiring stochastic terrorism? Say it ain't so!
You can keep going… Charlie Kirk, Benny Johnson, Hodge Twins and f*cking catturd
edit: oh and Robert Kennedy Jr, I totally missed him until now, that’s great
Dude was 40 years old. Man-child, not a kid.
Missed that. Thx - edited
Destroying evidence is a crime. Put the fucker in prison.
I would assume that they retain the data and are just hiding it from public view. That way they can fulfill one of their organizational goals, trying to prevent useful or accurate information from reaching the public, but still have the ability to respond to a subpoena.
but still have the ability to respond to a subpoena
I feel like I should laugh at this, yet not.
I wonder if subpoenas get the poop emoji back when they are sent to Twitter.
Also, it had to actually be evidence of a crime. Following Elon may be a bad-look association but it's not likely related to any crimes
You might be right, but trying to apply logic and reason to Musk’s behavior is always a gamble.
If Elon loves being authoritarian, why does he try to distance himself from far right terrorists?
They know they have to stay mask on, no matter what.
They tried the whole "haha, we were nazis all along!" thing with the tiki torches and Unite the Right rally. They lost their jobs, families and the platform they'd built out of plausible deniability.
You could catch them dressed as Hitler, with a hand written copy of Elders of Zion, in the middle of lynching a jew, and they'd still claim "the left just calls everyone who disagrees with them a Nazi".
the coward Elon can't admit he knowingly incites this exact behavior
Of course he did. What's the provenance of this history?
Twitter sleuths, as usual.
Here’s a video of someone scrolling his likes before it was scrubbed:

I wonder if the FBI will want a word with Musky over this. I hope so.
Elon, y u no like your fanboys? :(
"iTs BeCaUsE tHeY tEcAh EvOlUtiOn iN sCHoOLs aNd aLlOw aBoRtIoNs!!!"
Hey elon musk, look his alt https://twitter.com/RobertC2004180/. Different number but it has one zero instead of two. No way it is not his alt.
Look at whatever this guy was against and support those things.
Elon is a joke gone wrong.
So...not enough Musk spam, then?
If you have a problem with it
👇
Theres something incredibly hilarious about this screenshot, its like Elon's daring you to
Sounds like a right winger who had a psychotic episode or something, did he target people based on their politics?
You can get this info?
Someone want to say what "resist_05" is?
If you have API access, just a matter of the right query for all public info. It’s how statistics analysis on Twitter are done by universities etc, at least before he made API access too expensive for them.
Resist_05 looks maybe like a disinformation amplifying account, follows dom lucre and that antisemitic warmonitors account, etc.
edit: speaking of that warmonitors account, icymi
I'm shocked that viewing history for individual accounts is public info!
If the account is set to public, then yes, pretty much everything available except DMs. If you have it set to private, then no, at least not from the public APIs.
That's fucked up. It's not that different from leaving your browser history for the world to see when there are jokes about taking browser history to the grave.
fyi, unless something has changed (and anyone feel free to correct or update me), Mastodon is every bit as open. Last I checked, DMs aren’t even as private as on Twitter, and it’s recommended to use DMs only as a less-public direct message, and not use it for anything private that you wouldn’t want to risk getting leaked anywhere.
Here is the problem I see- you make this news and maga will immediately turn it into a deep state/antifai/Soros/FBI false flag operation.
Maybe they have already, i stay out of that nonsense these days. You just can't change these people's minds as easy as they can be programmed by right wing media.
Pretty obvious what this guy was listening to and I'm sad for the families that have to deal with his bullshit actions. I can't even imagine being gunned down just bowling with friends. We can't ignore the RW media's role in this.
