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.

He definitely bought Twitter to "preserve free speech" and totally not to collect data and manipulate elections, right?

I mean he also got to burn down the most popular public platform.

Oh boy, this has got to be an FEC violation.

Probably but no one will do anything about it

Especially since the Tribunal of Six decided that government regulatory agencies aren’t actually allowed to regulate anything

Unlikely. Almost nothing is, especially anything done by a PAC.

That's only when it comes to advertising and messaging. Once you start bringing up actual government processes like registering to vote and polling location information it gets interesting. Lying about the voter registration process for instance, which this seems close to.

Fascinating. I hope Elon Musk gets more personally involved in this effort so his unique leadership can improve the odds of success.
