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.

Doesn't he have enough money to just pay people to setup friendly accounts? I hate Musk's ass, but if he wants to put me on his payroll to kiss his ass on the internet, I'm for sale. $200k/year and I will sing his praises far and wide.
He'll get someone on an H1B Visa to do it for $45k
45k still double what I'm making ill do it fuck it
Or ~5 times my salary 🥲
Gotta love the brazilian real devaluation
Hell get someone for $45
...i hear that in south asia, twenty dollars is twenty dollars...
He's got literally no humans or animals that like him irl. He already is paying people for this job. He bought Twitter to be his friend so he could spend all his free time on there which is a lot and it won't look as weird since he owns it. Guys brain is more cooked than a nfl player with cte.
He bought Twitter because he wanted to pump the stock up, presumably so that he could dump his stock. The timeline is that Elon talked about taking Twitter private, paying 420$ per share, because 420 is the funny marijuana number. Twitter's board then agreed to the buyout, since Elon's offer was far more than what the company was actually worth. Elon tried to weasel out of the deal, but Twitter successfully sued him to force him into buying Twitter.
That's not how taking Twitter private works... What are you 5?
Then how does it work? Enlighten me.
Except that's what happened. Go home, Russian bot.
$200k a year could buy an entire army of bots and trolls. He doesn’t need to bother with paying individual people, when a company with borderline slave labor will do it en masse for a penny per post.
Haha I got a good laugh XD. But seriously though, I wouldn't propagandize for that monster to set me up for life.
I shudder to imagine how much of yourself would erode over time, being a flattering mouthpiece for, and being bankrolled by, such an evil villain.
Personally, I'll keep my struggles lol.
This hypothetical situation reminds me of some passages that have stuck with me for life:
"A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches." (Proverbs 22:1)
““For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul?" (Mark 8:36 NASB)
Are you familiar with the mouth of Sauron?
His ego is way too big for that so he needs to trick himself into strong enough cognitive dissonance and he gets that by buying people of indirectly. Tale as old as time.
I don't think the guy has any friends, so no.
