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.

MODERATORS
Elon is desperate to be liked, the center of attention, a total egomaniac. He's one of those people who will say or do whatever it takes for people to tell him he's great and have them pay attention to him. Id argue even negative responses would be a positive to him as it's still someone talking the time to listen to him.
Putting out messages of peace and love don't get the same returns as messages of hate, because people expect peace and don't need to add anything more to it. Not that long ago the scum of the internet wouldn't bother to respond to a post like that.
But a message of hate will get the fascist voice cheering him on as one of their own and the voices for peace calling him out. On top of that, every time he posts some dumb shit it gets copied all over the socials, just like this, fueling that ego over and over.
You could just say he's a narcissist who changes his tune as the wind turns.
