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.

Is his obsession with the letter X just because it seemed like a cool letter at some point and he just refused to let it go like the doge meme? Or is there anything more to it?
He has trauma, something that is there but cannot be shown and cannot be directly named. My guess is that he is projecting all his trauma and all his hope into that letter. What would be a better letter? It's a cross that marks things and it's the preferred name for variables.
This post made me realize that Xavier is to Musk what Barron is to Trump. They both overloaded the name of their child with a name from their own history. It would be funny if Musk would also call himself Xavier, for example when wearing that French looking black coat.
What if we collectively start calling it V now?
It may genuinely come down to that was the only single letter domain left. Like it could all be z bullshit but someone snagged that one first
It's a sans-serif swastika.
It's just a notion he clings to. He was told "X.com" was a stupid name that nobody thought was cool waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back when and he's absolutely fixed on "proving" that X is the coolest letter.
Probably wanted to one-up X10.com
