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.

Sounds like a right winger who had a psychotic episode or something, did he target people based on their politics?

Doubt it. If you've been constantly screamed at to see enemies everywhere for long enough, sooner or later you start seeing enemies everywhere.

That describes America perfectly, and both can be true. People who knew him have voiced concerns for his mental health and that it was a complete surprise to them. Coming up with hypothetical reasons to ignore that information seems to venture in to less likely territory.

When crimes are politically convenient people always want to discount mental health as a factor, and on the other hand will acknowledge a mental health crisis and the politics around that.

No, his personal circumstances
