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.

MODERATORS
Hanlon’s Razor has never applied to fascists.
Yeah, but your fact totally ruins my joke.
At SOME point persistent, weaponized incompetence has to be attributed to callousness or evil.
are we all idiots then? because all i see is a bunch of scholars talking about how wrong this all is.

Only a complete buffoon would give another buffoon raw unchecked power like this. God damn this is the lowest point in US history.
Yo dawg, I heard you like buffoons...

how much time do you think Xzibit spent on how to spell his name? Is the "z" really necessary? Was it a design decision?

I'm sure he'll be super bummed about it whenever he wakes up from his latest k-nap.

Thanks for making it national news, major national media. Good work.
Did they actually cut it off? (Even if temporarily?)
Yeah, I am not doubting that this happened, because in the mix of callousness and incompetence on display, it isn't unlikely. But a source would be much appreciated, still.
Here's a Snopes review of what I think is the same specific topic.
It mentions nothing about these being orphan support payments, but rather, these being possibly incorrectly typed SSNs that resulted in their recordkeeping systems assuming, based on the information tied to those SSNs, that the borrowers were, say, 11 years old, when in actuality they were not, and the SSNs had just been inputted incorrectly, even if all other borrower information was accurate.
They also didn't stop these funds, as they were already given out. They're simply "reviewing" them.
Literal supervillainy.
Some orphans will take matters into their own hand
