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.

"So... about your spaceships. Would you allow foreign kids on them?"

[–] JuxtaposedJaguar@lemmy.ml 2 points 16 hours ago

“If they pay me 10 million dollars, sure.”

[–] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 13 points 19 hours ago

This was somewhat gutsy of the reporter to ask, but when Elmo dodged like that he should have said, "Well I guess that's the interview over. We'll just air this clip and get about 10 million views. Should pay for our time here nicely." And then left the Nazi prick to sit and stew in his own shit.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 19 points 21 hours ago

Nazi coward gonna Nazi cower.

FYI, this is the actual transcript, not a meme.

He isn't a government expert either, so why TF is he fucking with our government?

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 14 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

They're correct. But neither is he a space or engineering expert, so maybe we should just ignore his opinions on those things entirely as well.

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 4 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago) (1 children)

They are wrong that none of his "endeavors" deal with immigration.

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 4 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

True, but he's only an expert in exploiting visa workers.

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 2 points 19 hours ago

well lets not get carried away with the "expert" title.

[–] Redex68@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago

I actually disagree, Elon has been a high profile, staunch supporter of the Republicans and Trump for a while now and was at a high level position with a lot of influence on the government (head of DOGE), and still has significant influence on Republicans, I think it's only natural to ask someone like that their opinions on government policy.

[–] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 1 points 19 hours ago

Fucking Elmo stans are such unbelievable losers it's not even funny.

Gonna laugh my ass off when they lose everything after Tesla stock finally pops.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Guys let's try to keep the discussion about Rampart

[–] matdave@lemmy.ml 4 points 18 hours ago

Free speech advocate, or maybe he meant freeze peach?

[–] PanArab@lemm.ee 6 points 21 hours ago

White settlers from South Africa are refugees though.

[–] SalamenceFury@lemmy.world 3 points 20 hours ago

Of course the Nazi prick is gonna dodge the question.

[–] wildcardology@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (3 children)

All he knows about spaceships he learned from "The Dictator" movie.

"Do you think that foreign students might have materially contributed to the creation of your spaceships?"

[–] Deflated0ne@lemmy.world 42 points 1 day ago (8 children)

If this isn't the kind of stuff you're asking. You're doing it wrong.

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago

The press is very deeply beholden to wealth.

“Free speech absolutist”

[–] Halosheep@lemm.ee 40 points 1 day ago (4 children)

To be fair, free speech should include the freedom not to speak.

[–] JuxtaposedJaguar@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 hour ago

I plead the fifth.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago

He should fucking exercise it more

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago

I agree he doesn't have to answer, but if you're supposed to be REALLY into free speech which largely means freedom of the press, you probably wouldn't be into giving the press huge stipulations on what questions they are allowed to ask or not.

You know that you're in the right when you're ashamed to share your opinion publicly.

[–] JuxtaposedJaguar@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 hour ago

He’s not ashamed, he’s scared of Trump.

Can they really be called spaceships if they never get to space?

[–] JuxtaposedJaguar@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 hour ago

They get to space, they just don’t stay in space. Like every vehicle meant to be crewed by humans.

[–] KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I call them improvised explosive devices.

[–] pulsewidth@lemmy.world 110 points 1 day ago (20 children)

Even worse - he named his space vessels 'Starship' - implying that they have the ability to travel between stars.

They will study this man's narcissism in future history classes alongside Trump. The era of the ego.

[–] jj4211@lemmy.world 3 points 22 hours ago

I can't find the article now, but there was a news article that talked about "interstellar missions to mars", and it drove me nuts

"Please stick to making me look good"

[–] logos@sh.itjust.works 7 points 21 hours ago

No. Well... No.

[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 81 points 1 day ago (3 children)

in that case: what happened to your face? Did you fall and hit your head on one of your spaceships?

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 1 points 19 hours ago

Was your torso mutated by some kind of space rays?

No. No, no, no. Under no circumstances should anyone fuck Elon Musk. I cannot emphasize this enough. Elon Musk should be left alone to go fuck himself.
