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.

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.

Elon is the richest human to ever live. His net worth surpasses that of some countries. He's trying to defend Nazi like actions (including the Nazi saute) to strangers on the Internet. He could do so much good in this world, but instead he's a piece of shit.
Hell, he's got enough money to be Batman or Tony Stark at this point.

Taking money in ways fair
At least deems capitalism
Hu cares? I-got-mine-ism!
Remember that he's admitting that people want to kill him. Also remember that right after he did the Nazi Salute on live television, he was suddenly carrying his son around everywhere. A son, that by all accounts, he didn't seem to give too much of a shit about beforehand. He was using that kid as a human shield, folks. Most people wont shoot at a man holding a kid and he knew it.
both his daughter coming out trans and grimes dating chelsea "incel-lized" further him.
Nope, no Nazis here!
Maybe he would be more popular if he used his money and influence to create a better world. Say what you want about Gates, but that foundation of him and his wife saved tens of millions of lifes. It seems like Musk isn't even trying to create the illusion of using his money for the benefit of society.
I have a lot to say about Gates. He realized that he was an evil POS and decided to create his own foundation to push his own views on various things around the world. His work had some positive effects, some negative effects, and if he actually valued human life, he would have campaigned to raise taxes on the ultra-rich or paid his workers more.
Let's not pretend Bill has much humanity in him. He's almost as bad as Elon. That's better than nothing, for sure.
I'm not going to try to defend his more heinous actions, neither the ones early in his career nor the ones that came later in life, but it did truly feel like their foundation and what they did with it was more of a "we have the time and the money so why not do something positive and get good PR at the same time?" kind of thing.
He's certainly saved more lives than Musk, Thiel, Altman et al. have, put together. By far.
I still find it funny that he actually thought he could get drumpf to do something altruistic, though. That shit was both funny and sad at the same time.
It's so sad and strange to me that Elon still doesn't understand why people don't like him. Also, he doesn't understand that people don't have to like him either.
I've seen it with CEO types, they are egocentric so don't realize that not everyone wants to be like them, or hold the same beliefs. They prop up their fragile ego with "I'm the best, people want what I have" self talk.
He understands perfectly. He just likes playing the poor oppressed white guy.
Like most white South Africans I've encountered.
I've only met two, but ... yep. That tracks for them.
Very common with Rich people. They love trying to convince everyone that they're very hard done by. Most rich people would have you convinced they're poorer than you, if you let them.

Long before the Nazi salut... Uh... I think about 3 or 4 years before it, I had an argument about Musk with one of my brothers who really likes him.
At that time I had watched a few engineers do the math on all this achievements, only to find out he's hyping up mundane things that already exist.
But most distressingly, he was saying apartheid things, and critiquing the arrest of a fascist who provoked violence.
My brother wasn't convinced.
What surprised me most about the salut was that he did it publicly! Right there out in the open! But besides that it was a full fledged visual proof of what I had been saying already for years. Surely my brother would not be so stu-...
No, I was just on the hate bandwagon. Of course that wasn't a Nazi salut, I just want to see it as one because I enjoy hating Musk. Because hating Musk is the popular thing to do right now.
He even did the goose-step...

They call you a Nazi, because you're a Nazi. The murder part is just a bonus.

Melanie is correct and fuck Leon Hitler. The asswipe neo-Nazi should be deported and stripped of US and Canadian citizenships.
Not isn't, but what a great idea! Thanks fElon!
