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.

You know what, I never clocked before that his fascination with the letter x is probably a substitute for a more infamous symbol. That makes way too much sense.
Close, but X in ascii code is 88, which is code for HH or heir hitler.
The exact sort of edgy joke he likes.
I'm pretty sure that his fascination with X began long before his becoming a Nazi. This is just a great coincidence that he could play up once he did decide to go the Nazi route.
There is at least one picture of him cosplaying as an SS officer from his early days, isn't there?
How early? His obsession with X goes back to his childhood apparently.
Early 20s, perhaps? Around the time he ditched school and became an (gasp) illegal alien. It might have been during his time in a school also, I dunno. It circled around pretty heavily on reddit back in the day, at least. Someone surely has a source.
I never really could stand the guy so I sort of made it a point to ignore the everliving fuck out if him.
Yeah, I wasn't fond of him in the early days and just basically rolled my eyes every time the Kaptain Ketamine fluffers would talk up his "great achievements" ... like buying a car company. Or buying a rocket company. Or buying a ...
Didn't take too long after that for the fact that he was just a thoroughly vile human being to start being obvious.
