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.

MODERATORS
I did use it, yes. And I hated it. There was absolutely nothing I got from Twitter that I didn't get with far superior quality elsewhere. Even FACEBOOK was better (and I ditched that the same day I ditched Twitter).
The major issue that Twitter had was that it eliminated any hint of subtlety or nuance from communication. Nuance in particular died at the altar of that fucking 140 (later 280) character restriction. It was basically only an echo chamber amplifier and nothing else. So, you know, absolutely everything I hate in "modern" communication.
