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.

It seems that he's planning to make it so that people can afford to have families with subsidies and better salaries... Right? Or is his open to ease the processes of immigrating to the US so that new people can contribute to social security?

I'm sure it's one of the two. Or both

/s, of course

Fight the dictators.

Vote them out. Spread the word to others to exercise their Right to Vote in elections.

I can't believe the country of guns and freedom is letting those guys at their government.

If you don't want to fight, you should really gtfo.

This is the type of shit I used to read in books at school.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

Remember how you all were bashing Russians for not doing enough to stop Putin and his war? Yeah, it seems that a democratic nation with guns is doing even less. Gives you a perspective on why things are the way they are.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 days ago

I really don't get it' where this myth of freedom and democracy originated. Especially that life shows us real USA face all the time now.

The only freedom there was, was for billionaires to treat people like slaves.

The guns were pointed at gays, minorities, liberals, and communists in order to free themselves from the tyranny of other people daring to exist in their presence.

If they are killing people, they are not doing it in broad daylight for all the satellites to pick up. This is a fucking idiotic thing that people keep bringing up.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 days ago

I very much doubt they care at this point. No one is trying to stop them. They could do it in broad daylight for every satellite to pick up, claim it is "construction work" and way too many would eat it up and run with it.

People were already not going to be able to ever retire since at least 40 years ago.

Oh wait, I guess people is just realizing it

In The Wealth of Nations, the general gist is that it is the labor of the people that creates the wealth of the State.

So this gets interpreted by the oligarchs as: Humans only have value if they are able to provide labor we can exploit. Once they can no longer provide labor, they have no value.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

That's how it is interpreted by pretty much everyone. Those who do not provide value to the society should not expect to get any value from the society.

Eugenics?

Do it already. Miss one Social Security payment and see the boomers go absolutely bonkers.

Someone needs to Luigi this dumb fuck already

But think about all the money they saved in order to fork it out to shareholders?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

Is this intended to be surprising? He's not saying anything that people haven't been saying for decades. Nor has this been any kind of a secret.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 days ago

He could do something against the average lifespan and off himself.

Seriously what the hell is this timeline.

So, Logan's Run X 1984.
