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.

Yeah I agree, if I was a billionaire I’d be spending a lot of money on things that don’t just benefit myself, and I’d hope that’d make me happy at least a little bit. I think the not having happiness part comes from the hoarding part of it.
But you wouldn't be a billionaire. There are people in the world that do good, they just don't get as rich because they care about people
You’re probably right. I do wonder though if you could become a billionaire and outweigh the harm you have to do to become one once you achieve that marker but it’s certainly a tough question. Especially with no guarantee you’ll even make it to that height then you could become essentially evil for nothing. Plus who’s to say you don’t lose yourself in the process. The difference between a multimillionaire and a billionaire is certainly quite vast.
Exactly. I believe that becoming a billionaire is necessarily a symptom of some kind of mental illness because of what it takes to do so. Most people would be unwilling to do it.
