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.

There is so much going on in this picture, and nobody looks comfortable. Musk looks like he's struggling to keep the kid next to him. The guy with the earbuds behind him seems alarmed for some reason. Everyone else looks bored at best.

Though to be fair, I wouldn't be surprised if every room Musk went into had a mix of people feeling either bored, alarmed, or desperate to escape.

TBF this is any time you bring your kid to an adult group, lol. Kid probably just wants to split and be with whoever the actual present caregiver is.

Oh, absolutely. I can’t imagine Musk is used to it. I gotta admit, I get a petty kick out of the idea that he’s struggling to keep a kid in line. After living in that privileged bubble surrounded by “yes men” and outsourcing parenting duties for so long, he’s suddenly at the whims of a small child. That loss of control is massive.
