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.

take it from him

Wild claim, considering Musk is one of the most violent drug addicts who has ever lived.

Elon spouts BS all the time, but $20 billion to end homelessness is some of the biggest bullshit I've ever heard.

You should have some sympathy for Musk, since apparently you also like to talk out of your ass without looking into it.

I work serving the homeless. We spent $10 billion for one year during COVID just to include all of the students who didn't already get free school meals to have it during that time. Unless you're only providing cots and Porto-johns, that number might work as an annual figure, until inflation hits, or the numbers go up because once you offer free housing, more people will try to become eligible.

Sounds to me like you're the one talking out your ass.

Then present your data. Hell, publish your data. If you know better than the experts at HUD, and can prove it, it should be quite the boon to your career.

But you’re not wrong that band-aids for systemic problems are much more expensive than solving them.

These numbers are extremely unsubstantiated. If you think giving someone $40k will permanently save them from homelessness I have a bridge to sell you.

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

Let’s see your study. What do you know that HUD experts don’t?

People also said you can’t solve homelessness by giving them homes, and Finland did it with ease.

@Confidant6198
"secular talk" is wrong here.

Musk is an absolute psychopath without any empathy. He doesn't need any excuse to sleep at night knowing all the harm he did to the world.

By destroying USAID, this devil just threw millions of people into starvation.

Read the rest of the comment. They weren't talking about the $20bn number being wrong.

[–] [email protected] -4 points 2 weeks ago

Right, it was mostly irrelevant. Also a person who doesn’t understand the role of USAID.

TIL Elon Musk is homeless.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 weeks ago

Liquidate Musk

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 weeks ago

Whether someone is a drug addict with severe mental illness is irrelevant to whether they're homeless or not.

Do they have somewhere to live that has a permanent address? No? Then they're homeless and need help.

Obviously there's a bit of nuance with things like ProxyAddress where homeless people can have permanent addresses but still be homeless, but the gist of my point is the same! Do they have a home or not?

[–] [email protected] 37 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's amazing that a man who does enough ket to bring down a racehorse even dares to use the phrase "drug addict" as an insult.

The word Elon is a propaganda word it is a lie. It is actually Felon, which is a violent drug addict with mental illness.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 2 weeks ago

He's a violent drug addict, way more dangerous and destructive than any homeless person could be.
