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.

It was a reference to tropic thunder...which would have been funny (but not much, he's supposed to represent people like Harvey Weinstein) if it did not represent some miserable snotty billionaire shitting on a union of 27 countries.
I would have banned twitter on principle just like we recall embassadors from openly hostile countries. But well-meaning technocrats are too soft on oligarchs, they only see the damage when it is already too late.
Technocrats love oligarchs, they're the people for whom they administer the system.
