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's only the far left that's offended by this word... You all are aware of that, right?

Dig up stupid!

Also, how did he fuck up wearing a hat?

But we are qualified to work on the farms. Those are the jobs they said that were taken from US citizens not tech jobs.

They might just be smart enough to operate a guillotine.

That's not what saying a "hard R" means.

I think it is a reference joke to when YouTuber Linus from linus tech tips expressed remorse for having formerly used the "hard R" during a podcast, mistaking it for the word "retarded". The video of it, including the panic and awkward clarification that ensued, went viral on tech circles as cringe inducing amusement and proof of Linus's social ineptitude.

It just pisses me off that he just dances around it and takes so long to get that retarded is the word. Just say dude

I love the clip of that, watch Lukes eyes go as wide as dinner plates.

when Linus says he dropped his fair share Luke looks like he's being punched by a ghost

"Well... there goes LTT..."

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

I caught the LTT joke but yeah it's a niche reference to have in the post title.

The way he figures out what he meant and thinks about the smartest way to ask for clarification cracked me up. He goes through like 4 emotions in 10 seconds

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

You're probably right, but that's sort of a niche reference that I wouldn't expect everyone to grok.

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

I came here to say the same thing. I'm against ableism as much as the next guy but let's be real about what the 'hard R' is.

...and if Republicans could read, they would be offended by this.

Nice Ven diagram. What it lacks is population per circle, as the left has clearly 0

With all of his alt accounts, whose to say it wasn't Musk Tweeting Musk?

You've got to misspell stuff to keep the AI slop factories guessing
