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.

I read the title as "Jesus was a bum."

Oh my Fuck I thought that was a meme that someone made.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

It wasn't a burn, it was just the obvious truth.

A 53 year old man trying to meme like 30 year olds did a decade ago. He isn’t bussin no cap, this is the equivalent of a rage comic, but with him applying for a currently nonexistent financial leadership position in donOLD’s cabinet.

Everyone in this thread is absolutely fuming over a goofy meme image, and thinks that chastising someone for being silly because they decided they're too old for it is "what a burn", lol.

Wow.

There's a wider context. Trump has declared his intent to have Musk be in charge of "Government Efficiency".

This suggests he bought his way into a position and considers it a joke, a pretty dumb one too. Also, another stab at trying to make Dogecoin a thing again is highly likely.

So mililons of dollars to buy his way into an administration position that he made up and the end result is a dumb meme... It's just some rich person bullshit.

He looks like "Poochie" from The Simpsons.

I bet Elmo has all kinds of cool ideas for making the government "more efficient." Like not going after billionaires to pay their share of the tax burden.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Billionaires should not exist.

Elon is a good example.

Something tells me Elon isn't going to sell his stock to take over this governmental position.

It's cute that you think that would matter to Trump

Cringe fellow-kids, galaxy-brained dipshit

I'll never get over people comparing this man to Tony Stark.

Where's the period after the "E"?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Reminder, period trackers on social media are not to be trusted... :-|

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

why? is it targeted advertising?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

It’s definitely targeted but more like a tech version of the Hitler youth snitching program or the entire 1984 book

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He figured he would be efficient and just delete extra periods.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

I feel like there a metaphysical bar that billionaires have to limbo under to become billionaires that is a hard cap on IQ.

Who among the super rich isn't on a spectrum STRICTLY ranging from "completely stupid" to "completely evil"?

I don't think they have literally any other personality traits at all. No friends outside of business partners or people trying to get a piece of it.

Nah fam, that looks like the department of gathering evidence

How to do efficiency:

Step 1) take over corporation/government entity and fire everybody who is getting paid. Strain the rest way beyond their breaking point until they can't deliver anymore either.

Now you may be thinking "won't this completely destroy the company's ability to even function?", and you'd be right, but that's fine as long as you

Step 2) blame the liberals.

Step 3) ???

Step 4) Profit!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

You forgot the precursor steps to step 1.

  1. Complain about government budgets/taxes/the deficit/etc

  2. Reduce/stagnate funding for critical programs

  3. Critical programs begin to fail

  4. Blame the left/liberals/socialists/communists/other boogeymen

  5. Take over government entity

  • Dude isn't even efficient at his own jobs. Supposedly works 100 hour weeks. Can't delegate.
  • Dude accepts government handouts for his companies. Can't finance his own ideas or ventures.
  • Dude purchased a company as a joke and lost money/revenue streams/users/entire countries. Can't even reduce costs while maintaining the things that make him money.
  • Dude used his most profitable venture as leverage for the joke purchase. Can't even make a joke purchase without endangering his best known and most profitable company.

At what point has this guy been efficient at anything but conning the government out of money and grifting genuinely smart people into working at his companies.

I mean controlling media sure shows if you're right about all this considering he's supposedly on track to be the world's first trillionaire in under a couple years - ok just over 2 years
