Enough Musk Spam
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.

This is to circumvent election laws. They employ these people as spokespeople and pay them a million dollars for giving a single appearance. Nothing prevents them from getting up there and saying “fuck Trump and Elon is a slaver” at all.
I mean fuck Musk and fuck Trump for this, but probably not because these folks who “win” are frauds
Actually the terms of the contract to pay them for the appearance likely DOES have specific clauses about what they are and are not allowed to say in their capacity as a spokesperson.
Afterwards? That gets into NDA territories where law is less important than lawyers.
