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.

"Do you think that foreign students might have materially contributed to the creation of your spaceships?"
If this isn't the kind of stuff you're asking. You're doing it wrong.
The press is very deeply beholden to wealth.
What's your question? Keep in mind that he can get up and walk away from the interview at any time.
Elon getting up mid interview and walking away would be spectacular. That's more damaging than "I don't want to answer that".
Better than letting the shitstain get free advertising for his companies by conducting a non-critical interview about spaceships. The era where people thought of him as some kind of Tony Stark really should be over, and any journalists conducting interviews with that premise are just serving his cause.
nothing? do you see a question mark?
so you just dont ever ask any pressing questions? I see why your objective media coverage tumbled down a cliff in the recent months
Months? Its always been like this. News media is a loss-maker, you dont get promoted if youre not an effective propagandist for the owners, you don't get interviews with powerful figures if they dont expect it to benefit them. When the press core was informed, for the first time, that we had invaded Panama, their question weren't "wtf what do you mean we just invaded a foreign country" or "how many civilians died", it was "did any americans due"
Then film him getting up and running off and report about what a little bitch he is.
