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 Trump starts with tariffs, EU can ban X and Tesla as retaliation.

That's a good perspective re: Trump and his lobbying billionaires. More places to hit.

What is "This will lead to the end of Europe" even supposed to mean? Will every inhabitant die? Will the land mass disintegrate?

(Lonnie dumb man voice) “it’s important that, uh, Europe change.”

Shut up, dude.

To be fair, I do feel fairly hopeless about my situation in Europe. But I'm happy I'm not in America and I know that any idea of Musk's will make things worse

How do you get a negative “approval rating”? Wouldn’t the lowest be 0% ?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago

Presumably 0% is neutral, -100% everyone disapproves.

The reason we don't have any of those nice things in the USA is due to multiple factors. But the one that bothers me the most is: conservative voters are willing and happy to let leopards eat their faces as long as the leopards say mean things about "liberals" while doing it.

We have a lot of problems here in the UK but at least most of us think Musk is an idiot. That diver he called a paedophile way back was a point of national pride for us at the time, because he was British.

Are we sure he's not talking about America?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

B-B-But look at all those "l-l-likes" from his MAGA flock!!!

Brexit was just a hint of the plan. Break Europe up into the same oligarchy that America is.
