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.

Man, I still remember everyone telling me I was over reacting when the Republicans cOiNcIdEnTaLlY had an Odal rune for a stage and that they weren't really Nazis.

Wait… that really happened? Reality just never stops to surprise me.

For once he's doing it wrong, not that it matters, and secondly he looks like he came while doing it.

[–] nekbardrun@lemmy.world 8 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Ackthually, he is doing the Bellamy Salute (still wrong, but more like that than the nazi one)

Yeah, the topic drove me to a rabbit hole and I got to learn a lot of different Roman (Fascist) salutes

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_salute

TL:DR is, Bellamy is the american nazi salute and the sieg hail is the nazi nazi salute. So they are pretty different from each other as one can see.

[–] Jumi@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

I see, I'm from Germany so I only really know "our" salute. That's actually quite an interesting article.

This was one of the most insane scenes in a game I’ve ever seen. I love this game

[–] biggerbogboy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

May I ask what game this is?

[–] But_my_mom_says_im_cool@lemmy.world 4 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Wolfenstein the new order and Wolfenstein the new colossus, this part i think is from the second but I played them back to back so they’re basically one game for me

[–] biggerbogboy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 31 minutes ago

Thanks! I dug a little deeper and I must say, it's pretty intriguing, I'm honestly considering trying it out.

I wonder how trump feels that the most viral thing about his inauguration wasn't him

[–] rustyricotta@lemmy.ml 7 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

If he has any sense that overcomes his pride, he should be grateful that someone else is taking some flak for him.

[–] ZoopZeZoop@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

Well, we know he doesn't have any sense, but if he did, it would most certainly be overcome by his need to be the center of attention.

Reminder that Fox News declared Michelle Obama a terrorist over a fist bump.

[–] ZDL@ttrpg.network 11 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

This is becoming a meme.

Used by the left to attack Musk. Used by the right to praise him.

[–] dafo@lemmy.world 19 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

The left and the right, the only two kinds of people in the world. Two homogeneous groups, two hive minds

God I hate those labels

Yeah, that's undeniably obvious what it is

[–] Yawweee877h444@lemmy.world 145 points 12 hours ago (11 children)

The ADL is defending him. Bootlickers.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 39 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

the ADL is a zionist organization that supports genocide. they're not bootlickers. they're the sole of the boot itself.

[–] amorangi@lemmy.nz 14 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

ADL do not care about anti semitism at all. Their only concern is anti zionism.

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

Zionism is the same kind of ideology as Nazis, just with different "superior races" ("the chosen people") whom they claim to represent and sub-humans ("human animals") whom they claim to be both inferior and a danger to them.

So it's absolutely natural for a pro-Zionist organization to side with other Nazi-like ideologies as long as the "superior" and "subhuman" ethnicities of both do not collide, and in this case they both share the view of the Northern African Islamic people as subhumans and they probably see their own "superior" races as being a kind of White - so White Jews and White Christians (if you have any doubt of this for the Zionist side, go check out how Israel treats Ethiopian Jews).

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 46 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

Just when I thought the ADL couldn't be anymore useless, here's REAL Anti-Semitism and they're not doing anything about it.

[–] Jamablaya@lemmy.world 9 points 8 hours ago

I mean, i didn't have Latina's calling it nazi and Jews being like "nuh uh" on my 2025 bingo card

[–] WoodScientist@sh.itjust.works 18 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

They just figure that this time, Jews will be far down enough on the list of "first they came for..." that MAGA will burn itself out before it gets to them.

Fuck the ADL

I was on the fence about them for past shenanigans but this is the final nail in the coffin. My friends are now telling me that musk did not, in fact do a Nazi salute because his fingers weren't pointed the right way

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 36 points 11 hours ago (12 children)

Ask your friends why they're so familiar with the proper performance of the nazi salute.
