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.

He must be masochistic to do that on purpose.

He really thinks he’s a genius. That’s an important difference between him and Trump: Trump knows he’s full of shit, and blusters and dodges responsibility pre-emptively as a result. Musk somehow really believes he’s a super genius and anything that goes wrong is someone else’s fault.

His narcissism requires acknowledgement from specific communities. Gamers are one of them.

The things said on that chat will stick with him for a while.

That's one of the traits of narcissism. A need for admiration.
