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 wonder sometimes what it's like exactly, being in the Cheeto guy's head because the idea that he and Elon would have a falling out eventually just seemed so utterly predictable to me, some guy, that it's sort of hard wrap my head around how he could fail to see this coming. People will say o shouldn't be surprised, it's not complicated, he's just dumb but like, this isn't like a policy thing, it's not that I'm surprised he didn't expect his ideas to fail it's just this personal relationship was so clearly not to last because of what both these guys are like and I'd have thought this should be obvious to Trump himself from prior experiences with people. It was never going to work where the new friend and political ally views himself as at least an equal, Trump's obviously going to hate that.
Trump, Elon and all the other narcissistic sycophants aren't friends, they're barely even friendly!
Rather they're all simply leeches who are using each other to get what they want. They have no friendship or loyalty for each other, which is hilarious when you remember that Trump brought all these people on for their "loyalty".
Trump is stupid enough to confuse a complete lack of morals and willingness to do whatever you order with loyalty.
The moment any of them blink the others attack and Trump is barely keeping these fucks under control, to the point where they're literally punching each other, in the white house!
Yeah, I can't figure it out either. Except that Trump is a user - a people user - and he saw Musk as someone he could use.
There are two things about this falling out that surprise me: First, it took a LOT longer than I expected, and second, it's nowhere near as contentious as I expected.
