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.
Wow. That’s bad.
E: Musk is such an ass that I wouldn’t hesitate to suggest he did it deliberately to troll liberals and press. Not because he holds any actual nazi beliefs (though he absolutely could) but because he just wanted to stir the shit in the news.
Looks like virtue signaling to me, except it's for nazi virtues
Any company advertising on X, buying Teslas, using SpaceX, etc is okay with working with Nazis.
That needs to be the message here. Make it clear to all his business associates that we will not forget how they react.
Imagine how minimally functional your brain has to be to think this is anything other than a blatant sieg heil.
Now wrap your mind around the majority of voting Americans voting for this future.
The only advice I can give anyone at this point is to not hold too much hope for the future of this nation. Lower your expectations. It'll help you get through what's coming.
anyone still using x is either a nazi or okay with nazis. the time for excuses is over.
Man, I still remember everyone telling me I was over reacting when the Republicans cOiNcIdEnTaLlY had an Odal rune for a stage and that they weren't really Nazis.
A guy who grew up under apartheid in SA is racist and a fascist,, who knew??
The ADL is defending him. Bootlickers.
Fuck the ADL
I was on the fence about them for past shenanigans but this is the final nail in the coffin. My friends are now telling me that musk did not, in fact do a Nazi salute because his fingers weren't pointed the right way
It wouldn't be a delicate situation if ONE GROUP WASN'T DOING NAZI SHIT
I kinda get the feeling that part of this was a loyalty test for main stream media to see how they were going to report on something that was obviously a nazi salute.
Was it going to be "Musk is swatting at fly, the liberal media goes off the rails with crazy nazi conspiracies." Or "Musk is a fucking nazi, he needs to be deported"
Which is going to get the "love" of this administration?
Deported? Nazi stuff is Luigi territory.
Moral absolutes are correct in case of Nazis. Death is the only correct moral choice. With enough evidence, sentence should be carried out by anyone able, with enough evidence.
Just keep it tightly regulated, obvz. But Nazis were the real pollutant to the gene pool the whole time.
I still like the idea of using them for science until they die though. Only way to get that human testing done.
Reminder that Fox News declared Michelle Obama a terrorist over a fist bump.
One might be associated to a minor ethnic group looking for representation because they never had anything.
The other is associated to a fascist regime that destroyed the world and killed millions.
Wow. I was willing to believe that the still pictures were just perfectly timed to make it look like something it wasn't. But it totally is a Nazi salute.
I wonder how trump feels that the most viral thing about his inauguration wasn't him
So.....when do we send The Bastards?
How did he make the Nazi salute look somehow even MORE uncool than the -9999999999999999999999 it was already at.
Pack it up, boys. This experiment is over.
So he literally turns around and does it a 2nd time.
How can anyone deny it now? There's no way this is coincidence, like he's just really awkward with gestures and was bad at throwing his hand in the air to the crowd. This can't be explained away.
Wtf bullshit argument or defense is he and his supporters going to spew out?
They all say he's such a genius, but he's unaware of how close this gesture is to a nazi salute? There's no way this can be defended. It's just too obvious.
