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.

Imagine a complete and totally irredeemable asshole that also never matured past age 13 and you have imagined Elon Musk.

Everybody wants rich parents until they see what rich parents can do if your rich parents don't like you.

He is a full blown actual sociopath, he doesn't care about anyone else but himself

When they see children as the means to an end, it's easy for them to be inhumanly low

[–] [email protected] 25 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

Fucking hell. That tweet is so cruel. I hope one day he comes back from the dark place he currently finds himself and looks back on this episode with shame.

Nice for Vivian to could hold a distance from that monster and avoid personality issues. She seems clear and strong in her mind.

Can't say the same for the meat shield. He's probably gonna become an asshole like his father.

I'm joining the war on the woke mind virus on the side of the woke mind virus.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

If the woke mind is a virus

How is he immune?

[–] [email protected] 22 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

The implication is the he and other "real men" I.e hate spewing bigots, have a strong "immune system" but the rest of us are weak.

It's another way they seek to feel superior to us peasants.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

It's a strange way to call yourself strong. Seems more like broadcasting being an idiot, but here we are.

He’s such a fucking piece of shit! Words cannot describe how I wish very much that he ends up dead every day. He’s a disgrace to the human race.

All this wealth he could be using to help humanity and this is his angle; To put down people who aren’t straight white fascist nazis.

Fuck F’Elon Musk.

The rest of it is just too ghoulish to even engage with, but why the fuck is Musk so obsessed with the letter X?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

He wanted to call Paycom something X. He has been obsessed with it for awhile.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 weeks ago

Indeed one of the companies who became PayPal was called x.com

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 weeks ago

Literally tried to name everything he's touched x it just took until he was a multibillionaire to be able to force it through.

looks the closest to the swastika

It also just happens to be 88 in the ascii table. Could be a coincidence... but none of these fuckers deserve the benefit of the doubt at this point.

You're not wrong. Besides having a vague visual similarity, the character also carries its own symbolic association. In English, "X" is mystery, and the unknown. It's a signature, or a mark. Thirty years ago, it was used frequently in marketing to connect with "eXtreme" sports culture.

Musk thinks it's the coolest letter because he's a child.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Musk is absolutely autistic. Nothing about him tells me he has normal thought patterns at all, so no point deciphering them.

Does that mean he deserves a pass or pity for a disability - hell no. You can be disabled and still be an asshole.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

He might be autistic, but that's not a diagnosis you can make just watching someone online. It's also not helpful to discuss.

We can tell though, that he's a man-child, accustomed to being handed everything he wants, incapable of any introspection: all symptoms of extreme wealth

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Not just watching him on the internet he revealed it himself. Asperger's is a form of autism. I believe it because I've seen people with the same symptoms and he has a lot of the same mannerisms.

He's a classic internet edgelord. "Autistic" is the spin doctor code word for antisocial. To them the thinly veiled nazi references are the height of comedy. The overall theme is that they think they're operating on a meta level such that everyone else isn't in on the joke.

I don't think this is so much a wealth factor as much as it is right wing culture rot that plagues young men. Though obviously Elon isn't young anymore but this culture dates back as old as he is. His fanboys love him because of all this. He is who they see in themselves. They are very smart but too lazy to achieve their potential because reasons. If only they had unlimited money they could beat the (((system))) that is conspires to oppress them for who they are. Namely being right leaning cis hetero white male.

Money didn't break him. Without money he's just another of the millions of basement dwellers who would be fanboying over some other right wing oligarch.
