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.

#ElonMuskIsATraitor
Just a random selfie with a Russian propagandist. That doesn't mean anything by itself, however. He also was spotted in another photo with Kushner at the world cup as well and again, that doesn't mean anything more than a picture.
What it does mean, however, is that the world's richest man chooses to be in close proximity to some really shady people. Or not. The world cup managers probably just had a section carved off for the Friends of Putin club.
Hey now! That's not fair!
You're forgetting that he was also photographed next to Ghislaine Maxwell.
Musk just wants to be buddies with the worlds richest man.
[Sorry beforehand if this sounds like a defense of Musk...]
I've recently seen a documentary about a con man who used to go to galas, photoshoots and stuff, asking if he could "just take a selfie" with popular/influential people... then use those photos as "proof" to his victims of how he had "powerful friends" and "knew the right people".
He's (presumedly) scammed between half and several million that way, convincing people to invest, to work for him recruiting people to invest, to hold shell companies for him, and so on.
So... "taking a selfie with Elon Musk", could be more of a "whoever takes the selfie" thing, rather than a Musk thing.
At this point I would tend to say the Muskrat is the one trying to improve its reputation by taking pictures with people who appear professional.
Yeah I hate Musk but this stuff is stupid, including that photo of him "with" Ghislaine Maxwell where he isn't posing or smiling and has his back fully turned to her. They were obviously having separate photos taken when Maxwell's photographer shouted his name.
