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.

This is why using Tesla stock to source cash all the time gets hairy. If Tesla shares fall below a certain level, the banks can call in those personal loans — leaving Musk on the hook. And the quickest way for Tesla's stock to drop off a cliff is for investors to get wind of a big Musk sale. And of course, he needs to make sure that he still holds on to all the Tesla stock he's pledged as collateral to the banks. Unfortunately, though, the easiest way for Musk to fill the gaping hole in Twitter's balance sheet is to sell Tesla shares. You see how this could be a problem.

Axel Springer. Those guys used to publish a good gaming magazine I used to read in my youth. Sadly, that went away.

Axel Fucking Springer is of German trash newspaper BILD of 'WE ARE POPE' title fame.

There is no large online journalism that I would still read without so many grains of salt that everything tastes like shit. Still hope the muskrat goes down and some of his billionaire bros with him. There will be banks going down, as usual, and then governments will ask us people to pay for all the shit that went down. I hope this time we tell them to pack it.

The gaming magazine was good though, but it deteriorated over time. And the publication ceased 2019. I stopped reading well before then.
