As of June 25, 55.1 percent of Americans viewed Elon Musk unfavorably, while 37 percent had a favorable opinion—a sharp shift from early 2024, when the numbers were roughly even, according to Silver Bulletin.

"Musk is still popular among Republicans, but he's less popular than he used to be and less popular than other Republican figures," elections analyst Eli McKown-Dawson wrote.

Because he forged a stupid ass cult of personality based on the lie of "Rel lyf eronmaen" so thusly has way too much power even ignoring the fact that in theory he has billions in assets. Note he is also a damned fine example as to why stocks for anything other than resource extraction is fucking asinine.

Personally I think the world would be a lot better if murder was still relatively easy, simply because then we could just kill fuckwads like musk and the world would somewhat improve.

You don’t want that world. Look at who commits murder even when it’s more difficult, and look at why they do it. The far-right love to respond to people trying to help them with death threats, guns, and bombs, the centre doesn’t do anything about it even if they’re also in the victim pool, and the left would like to see these executives and corrupt politicians arrested and their ill-gotten assets seized but we generally pump the brakes on the murder.

These days, though, people are being pushed outside their “comfort zone”.

I meant on a technological level rather than a legal one, most right wing lunatics who are caught for murder are usually pretty stupid about it. A well planned killing could be don't within seconds with the trail going cold within minutes, like with the CEO killing. Fact of the matter is without facial recognition and other trite there would be only a limited capacity to catch someone murking say musk.

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.
