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.
Gonna bet they're fired now.
Did he delete it? It keeps erroring out for me.
Yeah, so I personally know a guy (my wife's ex) who turned out like Musk. Like trump too. Goes on nightly message rants, always needs to be in the forefront and if something is cool he always had to claim he's the best at it.
He is such a sad, sad little man.
Soon he'll be streaming with an unplugged mouse and keyboard while his big brother (hired lackey) plays. Maybe we are already there.
We've had GamerGate, we've had GamerGate 2.0 with SBI...
Will we get ElonGamerGate?
I cannot believe how stupid this is, but its quite clear that stupid bullshit drama about videogames and the surrounding commentary community ... is actually a major force in shaping the politics of people roughly under 40.
Remove the "gamer"

It's definitely an odd one, but hey, if Path of Exile is the thing that gets many people to go "hey, he's a liar", I'll certainly take it.
More than happy to see this story spread, as it's hilarious enough to spread virally, but also makes Musk look pathetic and like a compulsive liar.
I mean, seriously, he's the richest man on earth, why is his ego so fragile as to need to "prove" himself as a gamer, and to need to prove that so badly as to take a risk like faking that accomplishment live.
A guy who used a dead rat as an alarm clock is living rent free in the head of the richest man in the world
This is a win for all of humanity
Okay I'll bite, how does one use a dead rat as an alarm? I feel weird searching that one
I'm weirdly into the asmon degenerate lore and iirc he would wake up when it started smelling then put it back in the freezer
Wtf okay thank you, rabbithole averted
*rathole
He's probably lying though.
But he did used to wipe his teeth blood on the walls.
And cockroaches have crawled on him live on stream.
Anyway the point is that this guy is literally distracting the most powerful person in the world right now and I just love it
Wait wait wait wait!!!!! Teeth blood?? I need an explanation for that one. I knew about the rat.
I’ve heard this several times and don’t understand what “teeth blood” is either. It’s just dropped like it’s a common thing we are all familiar with.
You know, teethstration
But I remember the old saying that you lose your sense of smell while you sleep (or at least in the deep phase of the cycle). Apparently that was why unattended fires late at night are so dangerous because you lose your early-warning system of smelling smoke, so by the time you wake coughing (if you even wake) it is often too late. Admittedly my "knowledge" of that is anecdotal, from long ago, so anyone more knowledgeable feel free to correct me - I won't take it personally.
I think if you were to wake up and smell something you can't get back to sleep. That's the problem. I don't know about you but i dont sleep 8 hours straight anymore
IDK I get woken up in the worst way if the dog has an accident in the middle of the night.
He's doing the same thing as he does with politicians he doesn't like; Lie. The problem with his lie about Asmongold is that there is actual proof of Asmon being good at video games. Which is still non-existant for Muskyboi.
