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.

And fishsticks are... breaded, they're fried, they're frozen.

I don't think he'll ever get it.

Ohhh I have never physically hurt anyone. Note the "physically" he knows exactly what the fuck he is doing. I hope his penis pump explodes, catches on fire, and burns him to death from the dick up.

(the fate I wished on him that got me my final reddit ban! hahahah)

[–] Red_October@lemmy.world 7 points 9 hours ago

Well nobody's physically punched him in his exceedingly punchable face, so I guess there hasn't been any violence against him at all! And frankly until we get to tell him in person to fuck off and die, by his metric we haven't hated him either!

You don't get that kind of wealth without hurting people.

ooh, ooh! I can answer that!

Because you're a nazi piece of shit and have accomplished nothing more than being born rich and taking credit for other people's work.

Also you're wrong about the products, your companies make absolute shit especially when they listen to you.

Also you're a sexual harasser obsessed with impregnating women because you can't make up for the fact that you're an unfuckable troglodyte.

Oh and you were buddies with epstein and ghislaine.

[–] MITM0@lemmy.world 22 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

That's because Mr.Elon, you like Nazis & whitewashed Hitler's crimes.

Not to mention you also want to turn the world into a Anarcho-Capitalist hellscape.

Oh & your products were never excellent in the first place

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 38 points 18 hours ago

The harm Musk has done to people far exceeds that of if he were in nonstop physical altercations 24/7.

Musk has killed people. Musk has starved children and animals.

I drew the line at union-busting CEO who falsely accused someone of being a pedophile

[–] Retropunk64@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago

Lmao, this. He's been an asshole for years. The fact that THIS is finally what got people to turn against him is frankly pathetic. People have no morals.

[–] MaxPow3r11@lemmy.world 61 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

He has hurt plenty of people though.

People have DIED because his cars are shit & he lied about what they can actually do.

[–] TonyTonyChopper@mander.xyz 12 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago) (4 children)

He didn't design, engineer, or build those. You give him too much credit. His input likely amounted to "make it cheaper and raise the price"

[–] pedz@lemmy.ca 15 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

Arguably he made Tesla's autopilot shittier by removing LIDAR because it was too expensive.

I'm speculating but it seems plausible to also make decisions like start selling the cars even though the engineers are saying they are not ready yet.

[–] Seaflea@lemmynsfw.com 9 points 17 hours ago

I'd also say irrespective of whether or not he designed, built or engineered any of the cars he is still accountable for what happens with those cars.

The person on top is accountable for it all. It may not be his fault someone could be sloppy in their work and he is still accountable for it.

The managers who let things slide, the CEO is accountable. If these managers hired people not up to the task, the manager is responsible & accountable for those staff and the CEO is responsible and accountable for anything the managers & staff do.

If I as a CEO had an accountant not paying the right taxes, the accountant may be at fault and lose his job but it's still my responsibility and accountability those taxes are paid.

There is no world where CEO isn't accountable for the actions of the company. (In theory...)

Unfortunately we live in a world where the CEO's often have no consequences for the actions of their companies and the existing laws and structures to hold them to account are insufficient.

[–] Jeanschyso@lemmy.world 8 points 17 hours ago

He's the one who sets company culture as CEO, so the "move fast and break things" that got that lady stuck in her car while she drowned is his fault, and it will get a whole lot more killed when they actually enable that autopilot of theirs on the cars.

Notice how he specifies that he technically never "physically" hurt anyone.

But damaging his product and brand is "violence."

I've never physically hurt anyone.

This is called a suspiciously specific denial.

Like saying "I was never convicted for shooting anyone in the head with a 9mm."

[–] leadore@lemmy.world 29 points 21 hours ago

You physically starved babies to death and caused immense suffering by shutting down USAID. And that's just one of the many ways you've literally killed people and ruined people's lives, yet you're not only not stopping these things, you're ramping them up and pretending you're not doing anything wrong.

At this moment you are literally the most dangerous, most horrible, most evil, most despicable and most loathsome person on earth.

How to have everything and still be a miserable shit.

[–] rational_lib@lemmy.world 93 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (4 children)

The full quote is even worse.

My companies make great products that people love and I’ve never physically hurt anyone.

So why the hate and violence against me?

Because I am a deadly threat to the woke mind parasite and the humans it controls.

So basically he's saying - "I never harm anyone...the left only hates me because I'm a deadly threat to them (and that thing I made up to dismiss everything they say)"

Also, just wanna point out he's definitely killed/is killing people.

[–] Cool_Name@lemm.ee 25 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

I'm so glad that I was taught how to diagram sentences in middle school because when I see something like this I immediately strip it down to it's most basic structure. "I am a threat to humans."

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 18 points 21 hours ago

teenagers: "Why do we ever need this?"

teachers: "To take down fascism"

[–] JacksonLamb@lemmy.world 7 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Self admitted deadly threat to humans. Got it.

This guy is LARPing Hitler in real time at this point.

He's literally a child of apartheid. He was born to be evil.

Apparently it only counts if you hurt people physically. Hurting their finances, support systems, healthcare, employment prospects are all fine.

[–] FauxLiving@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

You could literally torture people to death without physically hurting them.

He's just drawing a false equivalence between not physically hurting people and never harming people.

I'm sure the people that he's targeted on social media feel harmed, like the "pedo guy" for example.

[–] CaptDust@sh.itjust.works 108 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I find it telling he had the self awareness to add that caveat, but in typical fashion, couldn't follow the train of thought far enough to arrive at the logical conclusion. "I've taken away safety nets from the people, most are one paycheck short of being on the streets with nothing to lose, but what's up with all these threats!?"

[–] RedditRefugee69@lemmynsfw.com 61 points 1 day ago (2 children)

There's a recent unironic Hitler Did Nothing Wrong sentiment that points out he never pulled the trigger or a lever on anyone.

I think Musk is going that route.

It's also been used to defend Brian the dead health insurance CEO.

[–] ech@lemm.ee 30 points 1 day ago (2 children)

You mean the one he specifically amplified on his own site? Methinks he sees some parallels himself.

Oh, no. I don't think you fully understand. He's aware of what he's doing to us. But as far as he's concerned, we simply do not have the right to be upset about any of this, let alone fight back.

That is the way ~~elites~~ parasites think. That's how truly twisted they're minds, not to mention morals, have become. The pain is intentional. But he honestly believes we deserve to be hurt, and further that he's doing is a favor by reminding us of "our place".

Don't make the mistake of sympathizing with the enemy.

Ah yes, because he didn’t personally assault people he should be hands-off, event though he’s personally commanded people’s live’s to be fucked with.

It’s like the UHC CEO that was executed, none of them want to take responsibility for their actions or actually consider the ramifications of them. Like pulling the trigger on the gun but taking no responsibility for what damage the bullet does.

[–] ScrollCorm@lemm.ee 7 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

Unbelievable lack of responsibility on this guy.

[–] buzz86us@lemmy.world 3 points 15 hours ago

I used to care, but after he went crazy, and the Cybertruck hit $80k from the $40k he promoted. I'm just done with him and his shit.

If you're going to be a deranged loon at least put out good products at reasonable prices

I like how Bill Burr calls him: "the Twitter guy" I bet that hurts his ego more than fElon etc

His confusion has got to be completely feigned. I can't imagine even a billionaire doesn't understand what firing thousands of people does to their lives.

Either way there's no sympathy here. Bitch could've solved world hunger if he thought of anyone else for a single moment that wasn't for a press release.

Musk you absolutely have blood on your hands. There was a bipartisan bill to cap medicine prices and your tweets stopped and killed it. You know medicine that people rely on to live like insulin and asthma inhalers.

Some of those people are looking at a life of medical debt induced misery for themselves and family OR a more permanent and tragic solution.

You won't be able to scrub hard enough to wipe those claret marks off.

[–] newfie@lemmy.ml 1 points 7 hours ago

Right, but it benefits our ruling class for the working class to have an extremely financially precarious existence. Makes it harder for them to pay attention, help each other, start unions, rise up, etc if they're constantly focused on their immediate circumstances rather than the big picture.

Smartphone addiction also aids in this
