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.

That must count as the most financially ruinous tweet ever. Serves Elon right for being a total prick.

[–] But_my_mom_says_im_cool@lemmy.world 32 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Elon musk must have read Art of the deal recently, it’s obvious in his recent business dealings

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 hour ago

More like Art of Seduction. Dude is going around being megadouche, negging people and trying to make up for it with cheesy magic tricks.

[–] pinheadednightmare@lemm.ee 4 points 1 hour ago

It’s sad how happy this makes me…. Oh well.

I don't have a business degree, so can someone help me understand if this is how you win at stonks?

[–] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 10 points 1 hour ago

I can but first I'm going to need you to wire me $150 usd.

[–] Jumpingspiderman@lemmy.world 2 points 40 minutes ago

Thanks Carlos!

[–] NegativeLookBehind@lemmy.world 201 points 5 hours ago (3 children)

Really glad to see Elon Musk getting absolutely fucked. Let's have more of that.

[–] reiterationstation@lemm.ee 12 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

It’s America getting fucked, not him.

Keep in mind he might be working for them doing this on purpose to us.

We just know he doesn’t care about America.

[–] pedz@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

Might? Elon Musk has been in regular contact with Putin for two years

However, he's obviously destroying the US government and bureaucracy right now, but I don't think he's destroying his own businesses on purpose. He's just dumb.

[–] crank0271@lemmy.world 94 points 5 hours ago (3 children)

Let's be clear: he's the one fucking himself

[–] Jumpingspiderman@lemmy.world 3 points 38 minutes ago

I find it hard to imagine how someone like Musk with infinite tiny-dick energy could fuck anything. Let alone himself.

[–] truthfultemporarily@feddit.org 13 points 4 hours ago

Even more beautiful.

[–] atzanteol@sh.itjust.works 20 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

Thing is, he's not. He can, and has, lose more money than I'll ever see and not have any change in lifestyle.

It simply doesn't effect him. All of his companies could collapse completely tomorrow and he probably wouldn't even notice (financially speaking).

[–] MiDaBa@lemmy.ml 32 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

He may not notice the financial loss but at the amount of money he's trying to amass money isn't the point. Power and control are the point. If his companies go under he'll loose a lot of power and influence and I'm not sure his ego could handle that. He seems to crave attention of any kind. I'd be happy if he were reduced to a regular very rich guy with nothing of consequence to say anymore.

[–] Lightsong@lemmy.world 6 points 1 hour ago

lose*

loose is opposite of 'tight'

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago) (1 children)

What is his most profitable asset? Tesla stock? Spacex stock? So long as his total assets are worth $4 billion or more, there’s no change. Anything below that and he’ll lose influence due to financial strain. I’m looking forward to it!

[–] whostosay@lemmy.world 6 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Why 4B? Why not 50M? That's way enough for an overtly comfortable lifestyle

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Any less and he couldn’t sustainably sway the entirety of the US’s governing structure by dividends alone, with redundancy.

[–] Jumpingspiderman@lemmy.world 1 points 37 minutes ago

When has a Musk company paid dividends?

[–] smeenz@lemmy.nz 5 points 4 hours ago

Affect and effect are not the same word.

[–] Aux@feddit.uk 55 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

That's called "voting with your wallet". Everyone should do that! Here in Europe we tanked Tesla sales. Rich and poor - everyone can do what's right.

[–] MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 49 points 4 hours ago (3 children)

Not everyone's wallet has that kind of pull.

[–] OnASnowyEvening@lemmy.world 13 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Here's the thing... there's more of us than there are of them. That's why they're so desperate to keep our collective attention elsewhere and to cause division or people might recognize just how strong they could be collectively.

Even collectively we might not have billions of dollars, but it doesn't take billions to crater a company or an industry. Just takes not paying into the system; it'll collapse on its own.

I get you can't boycott everything because you need food and water to survive, but people aren't helpless.

[–] Jumpingspiderman@lemmy.world 1 points 35 minutes ago

Luigi! This would get me banned on Reddit.

[–] dickalan@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Dude, how do you think they got that money in the first place, bumming everybody out isn’t the move, please delete this post

[–] MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 10 points 1 hour ago

[–] ricketyrackets@lemmy.ml 23 points 4 hours ago

Musk will most likely blame it on South African apartheid and him being discriminated against.

Keep it up world. Bankrupt Musk. Let’s make the world’s richest man, the poorest. Rob him of absolutely everything.

[–] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 38 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I love to see Musk get punched where it counts!

[–] smeenz@lemmy.nz 6 points 4 hours ago

We would needs much bigger fist for elon to notice. This is like any normal person losing $0.10

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 15 points 5 hours ago (1 children)
[–] BedSharkPal@lemmy.ca 5 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Seriously, what is this feeling?

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 12 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Pot calling the kettle black, eh?

[–] SlopppyEngineer@lemmy.world 7 points 5 hours ago

Russia's useful tech bro idiot really doesn't need to comment on the company other people keep.

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 8 points 4 hours ago

But all the MAGAts thinks he's a really cool boy they can all laugh at white only memes with right? It was all worth it! Right? What a fucking clown.

[–] Kowowow@lemmy.ca 6 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

Look just because he has a great ganster name doesn't mean he's more corrupt than a normal billionaire

[–] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

I mean he's a media billionaire so not awesome, but I don't think he's a Nazi.

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 11 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

If your more aware of Hispanic culture you'd know he has a very down home family name, Flaco is a pretty common family nickname, the gangster names in Mexico are usually animals, or insulting kind of monikers like ''female pig'' and ''frog face'' or ''dumb accent guy with huge eyebrows''

[–] Kowowow@lemmy.ca 1 points 52 minutes ago

No I meant "slim" but maybe that's more of a italian mafia kind of name

[–] miss_demeanour@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 5 hours ago

Heil!
Genius at work...
