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.
Elon Musk, Tucker Carlson, Jim Jordan, McCarthy, Dinesh D’Souza, Donald Trump, Jordan Peterson, “endwokeness” - wonderful influences for a fucked up man-child.
Reactionary right figures inspiring stochastic terrorism? Say it ain't so!
You can keep going… Charlie Kirk, Benny Johnson, Hodge Twins and f*cking catturd
edit: oh and Robert Kennedy Jr, I totally missed him until now, that’s great
Dude was 40 years old. Man-child, not a kid.
Missed that. Thx - edited
If Elon loves being authoritarian, why does he try to distance himself from far right terrorists?
They know they have to stay mask on, no matter what.
They tried the whole "haha, we were nazis all along!" thing with the tiki torches and Unite the Right rally. They lost their jobs, families and the platform they'd built out of plausible deniability.
You could catch them dressed as Hitler, with a hand written copy of Elders of Zion, in the middle of lynching a jew, and they'd still claim "the left just calls everyone who disagrees with them a Nazi".
Same reason he skipped out of South Africa before the SADF conscripted him into the Apartheid war machine... him and his ilk believe the dirty and bloody work is beneath them.
Of course he did. What's the provenance of this history?
Twitter sleuths, as usual.
Here’s a video of someone scrolling his likes before it was scrubbed:
https://twitter.com/EliotHiggins/status/1717462615272632534/video/1
How many users were they subscribed to overall?
Don’t think he was subscribed to anyone, but the video shows following only 14 people. Probably includes Musk, Don Jr, Tucker, etc
I wonder if the FBI will want a word with Musky over this. I hope so.
Its hard to touch billionaires until they are directly involved. Example-trump otherwise nothing going to happen, his lawyers will deal with it. He won't even know that FBI knocked on his door.
Elon, y u no like your fanboys? :(
"iTs BeCaUsE tHeY tEcAh EvOlUtiOn iN sCHoOLs aNd aLlOw aBoRtIoNs!!!"
Hey elon musk, look his alt https://twitter.com/RobertC2004180/. Different number but it has one zero instead of two. No way it is not his alt.
Just clicked the link ,it no longer exists.
Someone did try to archive it, but let me say the dude was fucked up.
Look at whatever this guy was against and support those things.
Elon is a joke gone wrong.
So...not enough Musk spam, then?
If you have a problem with it
👇
Theres something incredibly hilarious about this screenshot, its like Elon's daring you to
Sounds like a right winger who had a psychotic episode or something, did he target people based on their politics?
You can get this info?
Someone want to say what "resist_05" is?
If you have API access, just a matter of the right query for all public info. It’s how statistics analysis on Twitter are done by universities etc, at least before he made API access too expensive for them.
Resist_05 looks maybe like a disinformation amplifying account, follows dom lucre and that antisemitic warmonitors account, etc.
edit: speaking of that warmonitors account, icymi
I'm shocked that viewing history for individual accounts is public info!
If the account is set to public, then yes, pretty much everything available except DMs. If you have it set to private, then no, at least not from the public APIs.
I was already rolling my eyes at another mislabeling of anyone who criticises Israel in any way but no... this is the real thing.
This is making me wonder if he scrubbed the account not only because Elon was viewed so much, but because he had recommended that warmonitors account before deleting the post, and probably many of the others. So guilt by association as well.
You know it’s bad when Elon can’t cover it up with a 💩
Here is the problem I see- you make this news and maga will immediately turn it into a deep state/antifai/Soros/FBI false flag operation.
Maybe they have already, i stay out of that nonsense these days. You just can't change these people's minds as easy as they can be programmed by right wing media.
Pretty obvious what this guy was listening to and I'm sad for the families that have to deal with his bullshit actions. I can't even imagine being gunned down just bowling with friends. We can't ignore the RW media's role in this.
All of these people will of course have their excuses ready why their constant button pushing couldn't possibly have set this nut off.
