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.

I suspected a few years ago when the Twitter purchase was going on. That when he was sued to carry out the purchase. That was when he decided he was going to use Twitter as a mechanism of his own personal information warfare.

That is so profoundly pathetic. My mouth fell open.

The extreme psychological issues behind using an alt account to try and soothe his own ego about his obvious shortcomings as a father, are in dire need of professional help.

Elon needs a quality shrink and far, far fewer ketamine self-medicating sessions.

He's wanted his kids a lot closer, physically, after the Luigi incident. It makes sense he's literally wearing one on his back. More surprising that he hasn't strapped one to his front as well.

Edit: note his self praise here is from 12 months ago. Didn't mean to be misleading.

Is this real? If so, this is the saddest thing I’ve seen in a very long time.

The guy needs actual help. But bad luck for us: instead he’ll tear down American democracy.

Adrian Dittmann, the one replying to Musk in this tweet, is apparently Musk's alt account.

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.

I learned a long time ago that anyone who calls themselves a "great" anything (and has to resort to such childish tactics to perpetuate the myth) is anything but.

There's a Spanish saying for that: "dime de qué presumes y te diré de qué careces"

Tell me what you brag about and I'll tell you what you lack.

DSM5 needs to add Petty ~~Manchild~~ Adultchild Disorder as a recognized mental health issue so these people can get the help they deserve.

Alright, I just woke up so I might not see the obvious, but apart from the almost surreal butt licking, what is the sign (proof?) here that this Dittman's account is actually Elon's? Sorry, I have never used Twitter or X.

This link where he’s playing Dittman and he says something along the lines of “her problem was clearly not with the product but with Elon because I was the first thing she posted about.

Also, in this article’s sound clip, you can hear the similarities. Elon was not on this call, that was “Dittman”.

[–] Zementid@feddit.nl 67 points 1 week ago (1 children)

So he hasn't even the mental capacity to keep an act up, without his narcissism interfering?

Wow... let that sink in...

Adrian sounded exactly like him, he bragged about paying the most taxes of anyone, and when he got exposed other people went and listened to other archived spaces he was involved with and a couple of times in $TSLA chats he slipped up and used "we" and "I" statements referring to Musk and Tesla. Elon is known to and has been proven to use alt accounts on Twitter, and consider the subsequent bans, if it's not him why is he so sensitive.

It's so hilarious how trumpkin turned on his base for musk, fuck your good paying american jobs going to american born citizens, fuck your education, we want underpaid immigrants and tax cuts while cutting social security.

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 55 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I don't think he turned on his base for musk, I think he was always lying just to get their vote. He's a massive piece of shit that only cares about "what is good for Trump?" He doesn't give a flying fuck or two shits from a rats ass what the base wants at all.

Why would he make a social media account under a fake name, instead of using his real name but make everyone think it's an unverified parody account to say whatever he wants and never get suspected?

It's not that bloody difficult.

[–] SupahRevs@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

Yes. How very Ken of him.

Why would he want people to think hes a parody account? He didnt want to just say whatever, he wanted to influence public opinion in his favor. He used the alt account to try to boost his public reputation/give the appearance of organic support for his positions and opinions.
