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.

"If I had agreed to their request, then spacex would be explicitly complicit in a major act of war and conflict escalation"

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't SpaceX be explicitly complicit in conflict escalation by interfering with Ukraine's ability to defend itself?

Well at the very least you have to agree, that he was in quite a dilemma. If he allows it, he interferes by action. If he doesn't, he interferes by inaction.

To him, and to me too, inaction seems more impartial, which is probably all he cares about at this point, and once again it's what I would probably care about too.

You can be mad at someone who is impartial, but at the end of the day, the only thing you are mad at, is them not doing jack-shit, which of course can be very annoying.

Not really since its already being used by the military, knowingly and deliberately provided.

So he's already active.

Well now you got me, since I didn't know that. So this guy then just lacks any integrity, which is not suprising at all.
