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 is publicly offering his own interpretation of Jesus' teachings with an Old Testament twist.

Totally agree. The Atheist's Wager works far better if you're going to gamble on any deity or afterlife. In short, be a good person. If the controlling entity decides you're doomed after being a good person, then you were screwed in the first place. If there's no gods to do anything, you still had a good life and benefited others.

Same with most of the other "logical proofs" for God, like the Kalam Cosmological Argument. Even if we take them at face value, it doesn't get any specific religion to their own god. It could just as easily be a desist god who made everything and then fucked off, like me with my Minecraft creations.
