- Start date
An "Elon fanboy" refers to someone who is an extremely devoted and enthusiastic supporter of Elon Musk, often blindly defending his actions and ideas, even when they are controversial, and frequently promoting his companies like Tesla and SpaceX across various platforms, often exhibiting a level of hero worship towards him; essentially, someone who is a very passionate and unwavering fan of Elon Musk.
Key points about Elon fanboys:
Key points about Elon fanboys:
- Uncritical support:
They tend to overlook or excuse any negative aspects of Musk's behavior or business practices.
- Active online presence:
They often actively engage on social media to defend Musk and spread positive narratives about him and his ventures.
- Belief in Musk's vision:
They may strongly believe in Musk's ambitious goals and technological innovations, often seeing him as a visionary leader.
- Potential for negativity:
The term "fanboy" can sometimes carry a negative connotation, implying an excessive and sometimes unreasonable level of devotion, leading to online arguments and hostility towards critics of Musk.
Kind of like Trump fanboys, except that Elon actually does have a few things he can be praised for. Whereas with Trump, most fanboy activity is defensive and promotes lies.
The problem for Elon fanboys comes when you ask "what good has he done lately?"
Will be interesting to see who throws the other away first. Once Trump is a lame duck. Elon won’t have a thing to do with him.
If Elon dominates Trump too much. Will Trump find a way to pull some of his contracts? Or demand absolute loyalty.

Musk seems like a national security threat with some really awful conflicts of interest.
Even UK extremist Nigel Farage thinks Elon is becoming a dangerous loose cannon.

Why doesn't this guy ever go after Putin or Xi? Why is it only democracies that he is concerned with?
You aren't wrong but, to be fair, he could argue that plenty of people already go after Putin and Xi. Clearly he thinks more people need to attack democracy and democracies.
He takes private phonecalls with Putin and has business and operation in China. The guy shouldn't be near the government and I don't love that he is a part of the defense industry. The conflicts of interest are about as high as possible.
He's using misinformation to push a racist-fueled agenda to target the leader of another country that's he has a long standing feud with. That and the allegations are baseless and at most reveal the lackadaisical efforts of the police. On the surface, to a layman I could see how somebody could easily be confused - but if you start looking at the facts he/they skewed to try to enhance his narrative it becomes clear that his intentions are nefarious at best.
He’s just a smart guy who wants to help you, Moral. Nothing more….
Do you believe Musk gives a damn about sexual assault and rape victims? This is scrapping the service:
A SpaceX flight attendant said Elon Musk exposed himself and propositioned her for sex, documents show. The company paid $250,000 for her silence.
SpaceX paid a flight attendant $250,000 in severance after she accused Elon Musk of exposing himself and offering to buy her a horse in exchange for a sexual massage.

"Misinformation"... code for "shit we don't agree with".
The lack of critical thinking here is astounding. If you don't know the difference between the men discussed, you have no business spreading propaganda.
Oh I do just fine. Two mentioned represent your political beliefs, one doesn't.
Anyone defending George Soros or absolving him of political influence and meddling has no business spreading propaganda. Period.
Who defends Soros here? He's sort of a meme on the left on the forums because some people like to use him as a scary man. Meanwhile on the left you have people that absolutely want money out of politics, getting rid of the corporate personhood and ending the idea of their money being speech. On the left you also have people that want public funding of elections, and to end outside donations. On the left you also have people that want money out of politics in terms of powerful corporate and religious lobbying and the closing of revolving doors.
You don't have a leg to stand on here.
The tweet I posted referenced two people, (one major one in Soros) WHO 100% DONT WANT THOSE THINGS and no one on the left has uttered a peep about them. Quite the opposite, they get defended by the left constantly. Utter hypocrisy.

It's because he pays us a nickel a post.
It was a disengagement. I realized I won't be getting any actual conversation from you.
In other words, I'm saying something you know is undeniable so there's not much else to say.
This isn't some kind of team effort, why doesn't he focus on those two?
He basically said "but Soros"
I pointed out some ways in which the left doesn't want money on politics. There isn't any of that on the right.
And then he essentially said "but Soros."
I thought to myself, why waste time, there will be no good faith in this interaction.
Then you came in and showed how clever you are.
Because he's too busy being an idiot about so many other things?
Wow, selective editing to try and make a point now? Pathetic even for you. Why did you leave off the "If you don't know the difference between the men discussed" as well as my specific response to that point? I mean I know why but curious if you'd admit it?
From a republican perspective, I can see why you'd say that. Trump coined the term "fake news" during his first presidency when articles or news sources broadcasted things that he didn't agree with.
When a news article, a post or a tweet skews factual data in a way that the conclusion represents a falsehood, that's called misinformation.
Things like, I don't know - "the 2020 election was stolen" is misinformation if not outright lies. Do you need more examples so that you can understand the difference?
LOL misinformation and Trump are synonymous. What rock have you been under?
During and after his term as President of the United States, Donald Trump made tens of thousands of false or misleading claims. Fact-checkers at The Washington Post documented 30,573 false or misleading claims during his presidential term, an average of about 21 per day.[1][5][6][7] The Toronto Star tallied 5,276 false claims from January 2017 to June 2019, an average of 6 per day.[2] Commentators and fact-checkers have described Trump's mendacity as unprecedented in American politics,[13] and the consistency of falsehoods a distinctive part of his business and political identities.[14] Scholarly analysis of Trump's tweets found significant evidence of an intent to deceive.[15]
Your post and this thread is about Musk genius. I'd say you're definitely in end stages of TDS, RIP in pieces.
Yawn. I posted a paragraph in response to your random-nobody tweet and the only thing you could offer was to argue semantics using your talking points "cheat sheet" because you know the rest of it is true. Let me know when you're willing to offer something more than bad faith arguments.
There's plenty of examples of Elon spreading misinformation, you really shouldn't need me to provide them for you. It's a shame you're unable to do a basic online search to find them. I'll leave you with these since you're clearly unable to read about the plethora of misinformation spread by Sissy SpaceX on your own:
