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.

Remember that time Anonymous fought Scientology? That's why we don't have Scientology anymore.
I spoke out about Scientology and now have unmarked cars/vans outside my house daily (off and on for a year)… I was perma banned from Reddit for speaking my truths… it’s effing terrifying!!! Fuck Reddit and the cesspool they are creating! It’s embarrassing!
I hope that what you’re saying is true and that you aren’t experiencing some kind of breakdown.
I say that from a genuine place of concern AND, it breaks my heart that we live in a world where someone has to worry about such things.
It wouldn’t surprise me if Scientologists were stalking you, but I’ve been making fun of them online for 20+ years and I’ve never had this problem.
Were you born into Scientology? If you were, yeah, they’re probably stalking you. Same if you joined the cult at any point in your life.
Film this shit and ask people to confirm you’re dealing with this.
The difference is probably that they spoke up about their friends and family joining. Scientology is incredibly petty and well-known for stalking and harassing critics. In particular, during Operation Freakout they tried to get their critics put in mental hospitals, so it's kinda their SOP to make it look like their critics are having a mental breakdown. You might be safe criticizing Scientology anonymously online, but if you're annoying them in a specific way (e.g. trying to convince specific people to leave), and they know who you are, I can absolutely see them messing with you.
No breakdown, was never born into it but spoke out against my friends and family in that joke of a church/cult and now it scary! Because they targeted me on social media… I dropped everything but now Lemmy.
I believe you in documenting the encounters I have, I honestly never thought to document because I legit just felt like they were turn on me and make me be the bad guy. But honestly with everything going on… Miscaviage showed how ridiculous the “religion” is with him making shit up! They legit believe in some sort of alien…. Coming to “save them” … I still have friends in the “cult of Scientology”. And levels that don’t exist because their cult is garbage, he’s in it for money!
