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'm not even saying the specific details of what he wants are good (and, in fact, it's now clear that they are not, and he likes saying super-ambitious stuff that is unrealistic because he thinks it makes him sound more visionary than the people who are trying to explain why it all won't work.)
I'm just saying that wanting Mars used to put him a leg up in my mind over people who just wanted their stock price to go up and did not want Mars. I'm okay with my heroes being unrealistic, all other things being equal.
