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.

Yeah, that's undeniably obvious what it is

fucking nazi asshole piece of shit

[–] BossDj@lemm.ee 60 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Wait, are we allowed to call them Nazis yet? Or is it still unnecessary vitriol?

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 5 points 19 hours ago

They don't like the socialist part.

Wow. I was willing to believe that the still pictures were just perfectly timed to make it look like something it wasn't. But it totally is a Nazi salute.

So he literally turns around and does it a 2nd time.

How can anyone deny it now? There's no way this is coincidence, like he's just really awkward with gestures and was bad at throwing his hand in the air to the crowd. This can't be explained away.

Wtf bullshit argument or defense is he and his supporters going to spew out?

They all say he's such a genius, but he's unaware of how close this gesture is to a nazi salute? There's no way this can be defended. It's just too obvious.

How can anyone deny it now?

Easy. Bad faith.

He'll claim that the gesture went along with his words of his heart going out to people.

Press X to doubt.

How did he make the Nazi salute look somehow even MORE uncool than the -9999999999999999999999 it was already at.

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 84 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Because he made it with the expression of a 16 year old in furious heat.

Well, the nazis didn't have their cum-face on while doing it.

Well, get ready for a whole lot of gaslighting. He’s going to say that’s not what he was doing and his lil army of trolls are going to toe the line.

[–] But_my_mom_says_im_cool@lemmy.world 33 points 1 day ago (3 children)

He says he was doing the Roman salute, but that’s exactly where the nazis got it so…

Our times Henry Ford, I guess

[–] syklemil@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 19 hours ago

Yeah, X is sort of his Dearborn Independent. Only that never became state-controlled media the way X now has with Musk becoming part of the state.

[–] BigDaddySlim@lemmy.world 84 points 1 day ago

I hate this fucking timeline so goddamn much

[–] jontree255@lemmy.world 104 points 1 day ago (11 children)

Fuck Elon Musk. Knowing I’ll be able to piss on his grave and Trumps grave keeps me going. These fucking fascist need to be fought tooth and nail.

So heil Hitler it is, now?

Granted, I never thought he'd get this far, but I've been saying for nearly a decade now that Musk is a lucky scammer who will do anything if it benefits himself.

I wonder how many people are left of the original musk groupies that thought musk was so cool and was going to save the world.

Do you still believe? Are you still that stupid?

Not gonna lie, my eyes bugged out when I saw that. I knew masks were falling off, but this was too on the nose even for my expectations

No need to hide it anymore, huh?

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

Exactly this. People still don't seem to grasp it, but they will soon. This is the end game. No need to pretend anymore, they got the thing they've been working towards for decades.

My only hope is that the GOP splinters over this kind of shit and destroys itself. But I'm not holding my breath.

Guys you are just too left. Under any other circumstance a nazi salute and flirting with AfD is considered leftist by a comfortable margin.

[–] Captainvaqina@sh.itjust.works 68 points 1 day ago (4 children)

How is this idiot so fucking dumb.
