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.

Look just because he has a great ganster name doesn't mean he's more corrupt than a normal billionaire

If your more aware of Hispanic culture you'd know he has a very down home family name, Flaco is a pretty common family nickname, the gangster names in Mexico are usually animals, or insulting kind of monikers like ''female pig'' and ''frog face'' or ''dumb accent guy with huge eyebrows''

I guess that Musk and Trump will be fashionable names in underworld Mexico a decade from now. You can't go much lower than these two. "I am sending Trump across the border to smuggle ketamine to Musk."

No I meant "slim" but maybe that's more of a italian mafia kind of name

Flaco means slim, I'm sorry if I failed to explain that the first reply.

[–] Kowowow@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

ya I was wondering where that flaco came from but I just figured it was a different example but still carlos slim is too good of a name

I mean he's a media billionaire so not awesome, but I don't think he's a Nazi.
