How things used to work 15 years ago, in general:

Government: "You must do the responsible thing!"
Billionaire: "I'll just move my business to some other country."
Government: "Noooo!"

How things work for Elon Musk:

Government: "You must do the responsible thing!"
Elon: "Fine, I'll make it so that this service isn't available on your entire continent."
Government: "..."
Elon: "You were supposed to go 'Noooo!'"
Govenment: "..."
Elon: "Not having access to Twitter is a bad thing, isn't it?"
Government: "..."
Elon: "Guys?"
Government: "...Just go, it's not like anyone cares about the damn thing."

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.
