Enough Musk Spam

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.

Everytime I see Musk I wonder how your face can be come that deformed without having some kind of accident. Probably fucked up plastic surgery?

It's OK for Elon to use that word. He's just reclaiming it for his people.

Don't Americans idolise their astronauts anymore? I thought they were seen as heroes, even by the MAGAs?

We also idolize our military people, and Trump shits on them all the time and for some reason seems to get away with it.

wait, they were supposed to be brought back this month at the latest, are there further delays??

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They're returning next month on Crew-9, which I think has been the plan since September.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

There was a slight delay from the original plan because the Dragon for the replacement crew wasn’t ready on time.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago

So, the blame is on the company that manufacturers and operates the Dragons. Maybe Musk should call them out...

I find it interesting that he signed himself off as "Idiot".
