And why do we even care how popular a CEO is, or who he is at all?
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.
Because he forged a stupid ass cult of personality based on the lie of "Rel lyf eronmaen" so thusly has way too much power even ignoring the fact that in theory he has billions in assets. Note he is also a damned fine example as to why stocks for anything other than resource extraction is fucking asinine.
Personally I think the world would be a lot better if murder was still relatively easy, simply because then we could just kill fuckwads like musk and the world would somewhat improve.
Has he tried not being a fuckhead?
seriously.
he has a golden PR opportunity.
just say that he has a drug addiction take a vacation in s luxury rehab for a couple weeks and gain simpathy. then all he has to do is being less public about his racism.
but he's too dumb to see it.
If he does that he’ll lose his fuckhead supporters though
but he'll get back that apolitical centrists liberal demographic, the people who say hes Tony Stark. he'll be back in SNL, and people might use him as an example of "genius"
that is all 100% BS.
but it shows that he isn't only Selfish, racist,bigot, he is also not a smart one.
No.
I hope he will be ignored into obscurity and eternal oblivion. Peter Thiel too, what a disgrace for the german people.
fuck this Nazi scum.
dude should go back to South Africa and crawl back into whatever shithole he crawled out of.
People dont like Nazis???
In other news, Forks found in kitchen!
55.1 percent of Americans viewed Elon Musk unfavorably, while 37 percent had a favorable opinion
How is this possible? I'm convinced you can do the worst shit imaginable and 30% of people will still support it, no matter what.
37% of the county is a brain dead twat
6% of the us population consider themselves far-right, 17% consider themselves right-of-center-right, add in silicon Valley nuts, linked in lunatics, vc padded vest wearers, die hard Tesla / SpaceX fans, single issue voters, red-down-the-ballot-voters, and people who don't keep up with what elon did bad - easy to see tbh
AMERICANS will support it.
Nation of 10 year olds.
Still alive tho.
The big doughey lump made people mad at him. He deserves it. Fuck off, chud.
Awesome strategy, though. First, piss off the sane people, then piss off the crazy people.
It's all just Woody Harrelson crying gif to him though.
No, he's very, very insecure. No one loves him and he's desperate for affection. Him and Trump both have deep daddy issues.
Since the scene originally took place in a zombie apocalypse where money was worthless, unironically this. He's clearly unhappy and his money does nothing to change that. Like many narcissists, he desperately wants to be liked.
He should try being likeable.
He's not capable of that.
Point.
He can always crawl back into his k-hole. Good riddance.
He's probably too tolerant to ketamine now.
He should increase the dose. Maybe mix it with booze. I hear that's a great way to increase its effect.
He killed his Dem fans by going MAGA. Then, killed MAGA fans going against their orange god. All-around idiot that got lucky investments with daddy's money.
Jump in one of those exploding rockets, Elon. It surely won't blow this time.
friendly reminder that Eloser Muskrat got over 8 million USD in DAILY subsidies from the government, while he swore to hold a chainsaw to "democracy" to "cut costs"
All he has now is hopefully getting Russian fans
He not only did what you describe, but by buying Twitter, he intentionally worked to polarize the entire political base into neat "pro-Trump" and "anti-Trump" camps. Then he finished systematically burning his bridges with both. Amazing work all around.
Glad the drugs made him unpredictable. Unlike thiel and bezoa he can't help but to be an attention whore.
I mean, him Titan CEO'ing himself on the way to Mars as a showcase that his tech is safe, is well within plausibility
He could do that today by showing off how reliable the collision detection and braking systems are on his Cybertruck.
I doubt he would drive his own teslas
I don't know, the stream where his entire goal was to prove how good starlink was for gaming where he immediately blamed all his deaths on poor connection quality, sort of implies he has trouble putting his products before his ego.
And while he is an expert at deluding himself, I think we have already passed the point where even he could be convinced his rockets were safe.
No way dude goes himself. No way.
Don't give me hope!
Solid chance he does the same thing in one of his robotaxis
He isn't taking his own robo taxis.
Does he even drive a tesla?
He does. He required their charging port to be where they are due to the layout of his garage at the time when they designed the Model S
Being a sack of hot garbage will do that to your popularity.
He's mostly ketamine, and various drugs.
HGH. So much HGH going to his chest.
And an enormous amount of human fæces as a binder.
