Enough Musk Spam
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'm not sure musk is in the wrong here.. And I do hate saying that.
Do you have any link to a credible contrary discussion on this? Because all I see is bolsominions screeching, it is hard to find an unbiased source.
PS: globo, uol and record report no wrongdoing against elon, bandeirantes is waiting to see the documents the court sent elon to make him call the judge a dictator.
I don't see any reasonable people siding with elon against the government (safe for the detail of throwing starlink and X together, that is being debated, but someone has to pay the fines).
Elon sucks but the Brazilian government isn't exactly the nicest one in the world either. I'm not sure which side of this issue I support. I want them to both lose somehow.
e.g.? you can say that about any government.
I just want elon to deal with the consequences of acting like "we'll coup whoever we want" as he posted before.
Many many people now decide whether a story is true or not based on how they feel about Elon rather than the story itself. So yeah - I bet you don't.
Near as I can tell Musk is being ordered to shut down some accounts based on them spreading misinformation. That's a dangerous game for any government to get into. That's why I'm withholding judgement here. Sure - they may be accounts I disagree with - but government censorship should be questioned.
It's not just misinformation, it's also the ban in profiles that spread/contribute with the coup attempt.
And the censorship argument used by some people is dumb, we Brazilians have a law about lying and defamation, is just that applied for the internet.
I'm sure you do have a law about it - I'm questioning whether such laws are good.
We'll see how it goes in the EU and the UK (and the US). If twitter keeps promoting openly unambiguously nazi content, there are laws to deal with that. Brazil just did it sooner because elon boosted the guys questioning electoral results of a very contested election without any evidence.
Not in the US there aren't. And that's my bias - that sometimes you need to allow shitty people to say shitty things because the alternative can be worse.
this is not about the US, but it may become in November.
