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.

Rules with prison consequences for the poor, don't apply to the rich.

Arrest this hypocrite fuck and give him the same federal prison sentence a poor black man would get.

The emperor has no clothes, but the pragmatic cowards he surrounds himself with are afraid to tell him.

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 17 points 9 months ago

It sure seems like the people who told him the truth got ejected from his orbit. Now all that's left are the grifters.

He’s so cool and laid back frfr

What a badass 50 year old man, living his edgy teenage dreams

Take everything you feel about this, and apply it to everyone you know who looks down on their peers who don't drink.

: cocaine, LSD, ecstasy, and magic mushrooms

It obvious that Musk is keeping the good S tier stuff for himself and only sharing the B rank stuff with board members.

[–] xantoxis@lemmy.world 20 points 9 months ago (6 children)

I'm curious what drugs you have in your S tier

[–] WaxedWookie@lemmy.world 28 points 9 months ago

Adrenachrome.

That does explain most of his decision making.

Surprised no one mentioned Wolf of Wall Street here yet, where McConaughey's character is like "How the fuck else are you suppose to do this job?". Not that its defensible, but to highlight the ethical bankruptcy of all those characters with the "step on whoever, stab whoever" results oriented approach with no moral or legal consideration.

An image of Lenny from "The Simpsons" kissing a box of Special K, itself a joke to the fact that Elon Musk likes to use Ketamine, commonly called "Special K" on the street.

No way these guys are complaining about free crack. Lightweights I tell ya

[–] KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 18 points 9 months ago

Cocaine. Crack is for the poors. We get the top shelf shit here.

Capitalism continues to amaze. Who would have guessed new depravity could emerge at this late stage?

I wouldn't. Having to be around Elon sounds like a waste of drugs.

“Do you mind if I take mine to go, Elon?”

[–] BassTurd@lemmy.world 12 points 9 months ago

On the flip side, it might be the only way to be around that turd.

I don't enjoy my job, and it has led to more drinking. If I had to spend time around Elon, I'd have to be borderline comatose.

[–] Bennettiquette@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago (4 children)

gross. i bet even when he peaks and is in a state of pure bliss, the best anyone could hope for in terms of good company is that he rambles about how great and positive and beneficial and necessary all his ideas are.

Probably true, but it would be worth the Tesla executive salary for a little while.

Let me go pick up my fedora so we can talk as equals and I'll go.

For those who feel Musty has done no wrong

Search engines are a thing, y'all. This is just one thing I found in a very brief search.

[–] EnderMB@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago (1 children)

This might be a bit tin-foil, but I really don't buy a lot of this news.

If the likes of Andy Jassy or Tim Cook were reportedly huge crack users, you could all but guarantee that there would be a VP or SVP that would be plotting a coup, and you'd bet that they'd have full shareholder approval. Musk owns most of his companies, bar Tesla, where he owns around 13-15%. Surely at this point there would be someone either internal or external that would love to own Tesla, even if just for the name?

Tesla doesn't really have much to gain by being attached to Musk. If anything, the outlandish shit he's got that company doing instead of fucking making the cars he's said for years they would make holds them back.

Take the news at face value, and it paints a picture where law enforcement will be involved already. Now, take it, knowing that Musk is a deeply troubled man that lost his family and is neck-deep in the alt-right machine alongside people that can handle it far better than him, and this "news" sounds like the kind of rumour that Musk would probably spread himself to make him seem more...edgy?

If it's true, coercing someone to take highly illegal drugs is probably a crime in the US, and probably one that would warrant the police to maybe pay these people a visit, perhaps?

[–] SuddenDownpour@sh.itjust.works 10 points 9 months ago (3 children)

I have trouble to buy this. Tesla's shares are massively over-inflated, and it is all due to Elon's media over-exposition from back when it wasn't so negative. Anyone with enough Tesla's shares and the capacity to play politics within the company understands that killing the clown means the whole ship sinks down. The correct play here is to slowly rid yourself of Tesla stock before it completely crashes, not to draw attention into him.
