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.

I just saw this on Bluesky.. It's funny and sad at the same time!

[–] Taco2112@lemmy.world 4 points 45 minutes ago

Death Maul was cool, I get more Wormtounge vibes from Musk.

[–] RandomVideos@programming.dev 3 points 3 hours ago

Yeah, Elon Musk should take the middle seat so Donald Trump could tower over him

[–] Draces@lemmy.world 28 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Speaking of, I've literally never seen him with one of his children until Luigi and then I saw a photo from this same event:

He is quite literally using that child as a human shield isn't he?

[–] Baggie@lemmy.zip 16 points 3 hours ago

Oh yeah absolutely, like literally the next day he started doing it.

Whomever told me to watch ...

DARK GOTHIC MAGA: How Tech Billionaires Plan to Destroy America

... yeah this is disturbing and depressing.

[–] Brodysseus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 7 hours ago

Got a tldr? Or watch in this case

[–] YarHarSuperstar@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

This is so much worse than I ever could've imagined it would be

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 51 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

We're literally living in a movie plot right now... "Evil billionaire attempts to overthrow a government and use it for global domination."

If this were a movie the bad guys would be obvious to everyone, but since we have the scum of the earth: propagandists, it's harder for a not insignificant portion of the country to realize it...

Yes I hate Trump and Musk, but even more I fucking loath the fox news primetime peanut gallery and the like, the Hannity's, Ingram's, Carlson's, etc... I wish nothing but the most excruciatingly painful slow deaths on them for what they've done to the population.

I think the bigger problem than cable news is social media. Billionaires get to decide the lense through which everybody sees the world. And social media makes that lense appear clear and unobstructed, but it’s very much distorted to benefit the people in power.

Looks like he wanted to wear this but couldn't find it

It's coming

It's still at ze tailor

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 7 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

He is and always will be a goofy edgelord, no matter how much money he has

[–] Fluke@lemm.ee 6 points 1 hour ago

Balding goofy edgelord.

I do not mean that as an insult to our follicularly challenged brothers and sisters. I merely wish to have him reminded we know he paid for that hair, purely because his fragile little ego cracks every time he sees that old picture of himself in the public domain.

And I am totally here for that.

Jafar had way more rizz

His beard was so… twisted

[–] OldChicoAle@lemmy.world 5 points 10 hours ago

Don't you dare drag down Jafar like that!

[–] Coolbeanschilly@lemmy.ca 4 points 10 hours ago

I would have voted for the parrot, if only to hear him quote Fifty Shades of Grey.

[–] mumblerfish@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago

This photo has a lot of

You don't talk to my son about his accused crime. Son, shut up. Let me do the talking.

-energy.

[–] answersplease77@lemmy.world 11 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

He spent $250M on Drump campain because he knew he would make it back 10 folds in government subsidies, tax cuts, rules and regulations. How do you think his net wealth reached $436 Billions?

[–] phorq@lemmy.ml 27 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

At this point I wouldn't be surprised if Musk was blackmailing him, he could release Trump's twitter dms at any time

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 17 points 10 hours ago

Donald is beyond blackmail. He’s already done heinous enough stuff that he should have been done for, but instead he’s president.

[–] b161@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

Is that trump’s signature on his cap?

[–] TehWorld@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

You clearly don’t read your Bible. May I direct you to Revelation 13, verse 16?

[–] Sho@lemmy.world 13 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

They both just look so gross...and old.

[–] Noel_Skum@sh.itjust.works 8 points 7 hours ago

Nothing wrong with looking old - if you are old.

[–] Placebonickname@lemmy.world 10 points 11 hours ago

Musk looks like a Ted Nugget concert roadie….

[–] 3aqn5k6ryk@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

Right dude look so fucking orange. My last orange wasnt even that orange.

[–] Madrigal@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago

Looks like he’s been put in the corner for some time out.
