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.

Oh my fucking god. I only mostly read his tweets and quotes, never really hearing Musk talk much, especially not in a "debate". I didn't realize how incredibly childish, arrogant, and downright moronic he was in an argument. All he does is talk over a well-articulated point before the person could finish it by insulting the other party and laughing dumbly at his own joke as if he had made some sort of zinger. And the very few times he doesn't do that he uses blatant strawman arguments.
This is literally like a child yelling back "Oh yeah?Well, your face is stupid!" How the fuck is this person the richest person on Earth? He wouldn't even be able to keep a fast food employee job.
Elon Musk is proof that being rich does not require competence, intelligence, or hard work. (Hint: it's luck and having rich parents)
Actually, it also necessitates a minimal ability to play the sidelines, manipulate and trick people and a complete lack of morality to use those abilities. He didn't found Tesla. He stole it from its original founders by placing people who were loyal to him on the board.
Having rich parents is part of the luck. What's better than gambling with your vast fortune? Gambling with someone else's vast fortune.
Our society is structured so that the rich fail upwards, and Elon is a huge failure so he floats the best.
Makes sense why he and trump get along.
"No puppet no puppet you're the puppet"
He’s rich cuz daddy gave him starter funds and he got lucky investing in paypal (which he tried to name X).
