Enough Musk Spam

2204 readers
314 users here now

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.

Someone on Reddit called this a while back. General gist was

"Given how poorly his buying of Twitter has gone Id put money on Musks exit plan will be to start his own "A.I" development program, intertwine it with X to the point where they cant be separated and then sell off his new "A.I development platform" to whoever pisses their pants over the letters A.I and writes the biggest cheque"

Even then, there’s no way he covers the loan plus interest.

[–] Delphia@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Id be surprised if he did, but I wouldnt rule it out.

A fascist billionaire with no sense of humour and the naming capacity of a community college flunky.

Can we please get this twat into submarine stat.

[–] Diplomjodler@feddit.de 23 points 1 year ago

And by sarcasm he means a neverending stream of fascist invective, of course.

The guy who rages at the thought of bots and trolls made a troll bot. Makes perfect sense.

This will totally fail in every way, but I would love it if people thought its tweets were much funnier than Elon's.

[–] mateomaui@reddthat.com 6 points 1 year ago

Probably making history as the first bot fired by tweet.

[–] RedIce25@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The shitbot

Nobody wants this

man fuck musk in general but REALLY FUCK MUSK for taking GROK... RAH would despise Musk.

[–] Pacmanlives@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Oh neat! We get a white supremacist bot now that just spews hate speech. I am sure that’s gonna drive up revenue!!!! Microsoft had an issue a few years back on a language bot they used. Using Twitter as its learning source is terrifying!

What the tanj does "Grok" mean anyway?

[–] protist@mander.xyz 26 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

"Grok" is a word invented by Robert Heinlein in Stranger in a Strange Land. It's a verb meaning roughly "to understand deeply," but there's supposedly no effective English translation. I hate that this dude might ruin the word

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

And that, along with the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and Bladerunner, marks yet another piece of science fiction that Musk refers to and yet doesn't understand.

..They are profiting off your outrage and laughing at you.
