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.

One of the cardinal sins of the post WW2 era was the rapid pivot to anti-Communism. The Nazi Bar was the place all the CIA/MI5 spooks went to recruit German/Italian ex-military and their allies/sympathizers. Much like how the Conservative Citizens Council Bar was the place the FBI went to recruit Klansmen and other anti-Civil Rights knee-breakers.
History is written by the winners. And the long arc of history does not bend in the direction its been promised. Fascism is on the upswing and all the Conservative school boards are rushing to scrub the history books of anything that might lead the next generation to be skeptical of white naitonalism or sympathetic to a proletarian democracy.
The long arc of history says any empire, and the USA is a modern version of one, will collapse as any other empire in history has. In general this is been accompanied by greedy men trying to get all power and wealth for themselves by any means necessary. Seems it's all right on track. Musk and Trump will be remembered as big players in the downfall.
