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.

He is a good marketer and salesman. If he hadn't been born rich he would some schlub somewhere selling timeshares to old people.
I think this is the best take, just like Trump he's willing to say any old bullshit to get his way. I'm unwilling to call it charisma, I'd rather go with mythomania.
Apologies for being completely off topic. But I have a theory that if he'd been born a pleb he'd have "taught" English in some country where a white person doesn't require any kind of teaching qualifications beyond the ability to speak their first language. He'd be regaling everyone who'll listen with his judgy observations about the local culture and teaching wrong grammar rules "because that's just the way we say it." That's who I'm pretty sure this twit would be. Would definitely have a blog called something like Korean Musk.
