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 kinda get the feeling that part of this was a loyalty test for main stream media to see how they were going to report on something that was obviously a nazi salute.

Was it going to be "Musk is swatting at fly, the liberal media goes off the rails with crazy nazi conspiracies." Or "Musk is a fucking nazi, he needs to be deported"

Which is going to get the "love" of this administration?

as you can read on al jazeera, not only Elon did something that clearly resembles the nazi salute but he also has ties with the nazi party.

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/1/21/elon-musk-at-trumps-inauguration-whats-the-history-of-the-nazi-salute

There is no excuse or funny remark to be made about it AND there is nothing to defend Elon about it. THIS SHIT MUST BE CALLED OUT!

Also, being "anti-woke" is a dog whistle for nazis and we know that Elon claim to be anti-woke, anti-trans and anti-lgbt.

Also, for all the anti-wokes: WHY THE FUCK DO YOU CARE ABOUT THE PRIVATE SEX LIFE OF OTHERS INSTEAD OF MINDING YOUR OWN BUSINESS FOR FUCKS SAKE????

Man, I still remember everyone telling me I was over reacting when the Republicans cOiNcIdEnTaLlY had an Odal rune for a stage and that they weren't really Nazis.
