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 suspect the idea is to disarm the folks who are still in denial by making these familiar names sound all cute and cuddly. (He's not anywhere near successful at pulling it off thankfully, but it strikes me as the kind of thing they'd try to do in subtler ways through their social media pipelines, where there are reportedly stages of indoctrination.)
I don't know, I think that's giving this idiot too much credit. He thought if the last line, giggled like a moron, and hastily threw the rest of the post together.
The invisible hands behind the curtain, though? Yeah, their motivations would match what you said. And no, I don't think Jews run the world, to be clear. I just think the public faces of this admin are all stupid as piss, so somebody's got to be calling the shots. That's all.
What? I was talking about what used to be called alt-right recruiting channels. This is the kind of thing they would do (but more skillfully). I got the impression he heard what to do from them and then went and botched it, trying it out.
Oh, yeah, that tracks.
