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.

hated him long before the Ukraine war, so can confirm this is false

This is fake. I mean, fuck the guy, but he didn't say that. This is the actual screenshot before the edit.

We are not at risk of going bankrupt, you fear mongering piece of shit.

[–] Comtief@lemm.ee 17 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Not just Musk spam, now we need to deal with fake Musk spam too.

I think if this immigrant wants to stay in our country he should have to pony up his billions to help with the deficit. He can make more of a difference than literally anyone else.

I think we all knew that that was a joke headline, yeah?

[–] Fluffy_Ruffs@lemmy.world 56 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

Honestly? No, not entirely.

Those crawls at the bottom of the screen can be written in a way that take liberties in order to get a viewer's attention.

Plus the guy saluted on national TV. He also tried pinning the Twitter hack on Ukraine. I put almost nothing past him.

The line between reality and satire has never been this blurry.

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 20 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

In this reality we live in? It was better for me to spell out that it is indeed a joke before someone else takes it seriously.

[–] Jarix@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

And i thank you

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 9 hours ago

Reality has gone to shit, bro.

[–] PumpkinEscobar@lemmy.world 4 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

Based on the replies to the post, no

[–] makyo@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

Satire is entirely dead so probably not. However it's him and his MAGA buddies that killed it so I'm totally fine with them paying for it with some misinformation.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 25 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Conservative blames someone else for their faults?

Color me unsurprised.

[–] skozzii@lemmy.ca 4 points 9 hours ago

Just once I would like to see them hold each other or themselves accountable...

People can use the "both sides' argument, but at the end of the day, Democrats will actually remove sexual predators or other bad apples from their cabinets, and Republicans don't.

[–] ech@lemm.ee 61 points 14 hours ago

I think it's a mistake to attribute all this to drug use. For one, it further demonizes drug use, and second, it takes blame off his shoulders when he has proven plenty enough times that he's a fully hateful, narcissistic pos all on his own.

[–] AbsolutelyNotAVelociraptor@sh.itjust.works 36 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

I wish we lived in a world where we asked ourselves if this is something he really said.

Instead we live in a world where we ask ourselves if this is a meme.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 15 points 14 hours ago

I've said it before:

Satire is dead and we killed it.

[–] Magister@lemmy.world 4 points 14 hours ago

Came here with the same question, is it a real quote? or a meme?

[–] WatDabney@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 14 hours ago (3 children)

You would think that he'd be used to it by now, since he's obviously had the same basic personality since middle school, and everyone undoubtedly hated him then too.

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 31 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

That's why he tried to bury this picture of him tryna be an edgelord.

He's always been a loser he just hid it with mommy and daddy's money.

[–] riodoro1@lemmy.world 9 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) (1 children)

Except almost the entire internet masturbated to his alleged genius not even five years ago, when he was already calling people pedophiles and talking bullshit about trains in vacuum tubes. He was the „messiah” that’s going to „save us from global warming”. Thats why the „enoughmuskspam” subreddit was born, because some people seen through him even then and couldn’t stand all the cum covered headlines.

[–] mimavox@lemm.ee 1 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Sure, but it is my impression that all of that started to vane just because he called people pedophiles and shit.

[–] riodoro1@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago

Well he did loose some of his followers with every piece of shit that came out of his mouth, but not enough. Those people who believed he was the sole guy behind paypal, tesla and space x gave him enough of a platform to become president now.

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 2 points 13 hours ago

i used to wonder if he'd have turned out better without the merciless bullying when he was a kid. now i think his bullies were on to something and were our only hope at avoiding all this

Billionaires should NOT exist.
