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.

Trump: "Jump!"
Musk: "How high?"
Trump: "Get as high as you can!"
Musk: "I am already as high as I can, I wanted to know how high I should jump!"
Sadly, I think it's Musk doing the commanding. Knowing as much as I do about Musk's philosophy, that's not a good thing. If Trump wasn't fascist enough, Musk certainly isn't going to help.
I have no doubt they are empowering each other in a sick feedback loop.
I had a friend that was always into guns but was normal about it. Then he started hanging out with this other gun guy. Within a couple years they were both psycho gun nuts. He started sleeping with a loaded the gun under his pillow. Even though he had a five year old son. To quote "He isn't strong enough to cycle the slide so it's ok ..."
I noped out of the friendship after that.
Sleeping with a loaded gun under the pillow. If somebody wants to kill you, and is in your bedroom while you're sleeping, then you're going to wake up to a bullet going through your brain, before you go back to sleep permanently. A gun under the pillow doesn't even make sense in the gun nuts paranoid delusions.
One my old friends became a cop. He would leave his service Glock in it's holster on his belt, hanging from his computer chair. While his then 7 year old daughter and 9 year old son ran wild, with no supervision.
"They know not to touch it."
Did he forget that kids will go out of their way to touch it. I remember when I was a little shit, I did a lot of things I wasnt supposed to do. I only got caught for the worst ones.
Shit, I only got caught on the lamest shit I did lol. If my parents knew 20% of the shit I did...
Well its pretty hard to not get caught after causing a literal dumpster fire.
I've cause numerous fires. Never a dumpster though. Back in the day, when my uncle was in HS he accidentally caught his hs library on fire after breaking in to smoke pot and return a book. So he's got me beat by quite a lot. But my mother was a neglectful narcissist, so I became a master of illusion.
Edit: honestly, most of the times I fucked up was when I was trying to be helpful. Parents had a wall they started to paint and let go for 2 weeks, they went out one night when I was like 13. So I finished it as a surprise while they were out. Got paint all over the carpet. Bonehead shit but otherwise innocent. Other than the porn, that's all I was ever caught with. I've ran from the cops too many times to count from ~14-24. Never anything real bad that harmed anyone, just general mischief.
