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've been saying for years that the man has had some kind of mental breakdown, and what we're seeing now is a man that is using a mixture of hard drugs and the dopamine hit from being a billionaire right-wing edge-lord to keep himself from going utterly bonkers.
If he were a normal person his employer would have either fired him or requested that he seek help. He's a billionaire without a boss or a support network, so he lacks that safety net. He's the very definition of "you don't know they're laughing at you, not with you, right?"
Yeah, right. I can agree to this. I wonder, whether it's the fate of all successful people to eventually turn into bad people. I really wonder.
