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.

Presenting a giveaway as random and then not following through with a random selection is very illegal. I guess it shouldn't be too surprising that Musk's lawyer just straight up admitted to a felony in court, given that there's no way a competent lawyer would have ever signed off on this and put himself in a situation where he'd have to defend it in court. Not unless Musk is willing to pay him so much that he'll never need to practice law again.

Unfortunate that they weren't able to do anything to stop the election interference. But there's enough blatant criminal activity here that there should be no reason why they can't press charges (state and federal) and throw his ass in prison. They just need to be willing to go after him, and also not have Trump in the white house protecting him.

I'm sure they'll get right on that, right after they move forward with any of Trump's trials

I’m sure he is somehow shielded by the PAC.

The fucker personally handed out the giant check. He can't exactly argue that he wasn't involved.
