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.

It is normal for kids to be an active part of a parents life. The suggestion that it needs normalizing is rather bizarre. What does that even mean? "People should've warned me about getting kids, what I didn't realize was that being a parent involves a kid being an active part of my life, if only I knew I never would've wanted that". Or "I was so ashamed to tell my friends that I spent time with my son. I was certain they thought it wasn't normal, everyone looks down on it. Thank God Elon Musk normalized it now". Yeah that all sounds very reasonable.

You're right. I'm sure this post accusing famed involved parent... Elon Musk... of disingenuously trotting his kid out for photo ops is way off base. I wonder how his other kids are doing.
