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 think Donald Trump, given reports on how he acted in childhood legitimately suffers Narcissistic Personality Disorder, although some of his traits indicate histrionic instead, primarily in that he loves negative attention, not just praise.

Elon is harder to diagnose, only because it seems fairly clear that early successes gave way to delusions of grandeur he simply internalized as the wealthy often do, which those under him stoked, but being susceptible to such things makes me kind of agree with his self diagnosis of Bipolar, with narcissistic tendencies of course, not full on NPD since he hasn't at least overtly always been that way, and you don't develop a personality disorder later in life, it's literally who you are at your core, not something you suffer like mood disorders.

The problem with having Bipolar I as an oligarch is that almost no matter how manic you get, its rare to find a subordinate willing to try to reason you back to earth.

Muskrat is autistic, I wish he wasn’t he gives the rest of us a bad name.

Also he bought his “success.”

He isn't autistic, he got the shit kicked out of him too much when he was young because he was so unlikable and he just hates the world now.

Has he been diagnosed as such, or is he just another Internet-Diagnosed Autist?

So basically just an asshole who is undermining people with genuine issues so that he has an excuse to be an asshole.

Lovely.

He just gets better and better.

No, he's white and affluent, so he has "Asperger's" 🙄

No, he’s a white supremacist so of course he has (Nazi) aspergers
