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.

Yeah, I totally get that. Give me $46 billion or I won't be motivated any more either.

Motivated to do what? What does he even do?? What does any CEO really do besides delegate and take the fall when shareholders are out for blood?

I'm seriously asking.

Motivated to take a break from posting hate speech on Twitter.

It's a great question when he can be CEO of multiple companies simultaneously.

There's no way I could work another full time job, there isn't enough time available. And I'm pretty sure the difference isn't that Musk is the only one that can pull it off.

There's plenty of other incompetent nepo babies out there.

CEOs appoint the compensation committees that award themselves more money.

First and foremost they fill the board with chairs who they have quid pro quo with.

He needs his 'investment' in twitter back. Probably because he took out a loan that has enough intrest to be double what he has after selling Tesla stock.
