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.

Tell me they're gonna use it as a staging point for the new station parts and build it remotely from here instead of launching everything up there from fresh after abandoning their foothold

Where would they get the materials, machines, and tools needed to build a space station on the ISS?

Send in bucket.

that’s exactly what they’re not going to do

Apparently, Elon wants that sooner rather than later.

You gotta wonder if today's fight with the previous commander of the ISS had anything to do with it.

It would be the most petty, dumb, and childish thing to call for the de-obiting of the ISS over a tweet, but my expectations for him get lower each day.

Oh, so Elon offered a nonsensical rescue plan for publicity reasons and is upset that it was turned down?

Funny. Just like when these people were stuck in that cave in Thailand and Elon offered a nonsensical rescue plan for publicity reasons and was upset that it was turned down.

This is the Thai cave rescue all over again.

So far he hasn't accused anyone of being a pedophile yet, so Yei?

Musk is such a miserable pile of trash that it's insulting he even has a 1/100th the influence he has
