The title is very misleading. This isn't musks army, nor did he tell people to do this. Saying 'musks mob' is just deceiving.
It is not. They are his followers, he gives them targets and does not condemn their actions. He does not do anything to reduce their impact.
I'm a big SpaceX fan, and I do find it interesting what Solar City (Tesla Power) and Tesla are doing - but it's hard to argue against the above.
Musk seems incredibly aggressive a lot of times on Twitter.. and often in unnecessary situations.
Does Elon Musk seriously use Uncyclopedia as source? Oh boy...Here is him telling another nanoscientist that her field of study is bullshit:
Dr Dickinson is a lecturer at my university and a science educator, she does a lot of great work and it's really upsetting to see Musk being such an asshole.
She wrote an article about it:
https://thespinoff.co.nz/science/28...ike-elon-musk-but-nano-is-not-bullshit-sorry/
Musk seems like a smart guy, but he is not a scientist, nor was he ever one. And while he did code at one point, he's almost certainly haven't done it in any sort of meaningful way in like 20 years, and in any case, I think it's hard to argue that his success was due to his coding skills.
That's nonsense. She's a journalist, it is in her job description to have her writings become as public as possible.
If she wants to attack people's intelligence online she should be prepared to have her's attacked also.
If she is this thin skinned she should just stay off twitter because it is majority trolls
It's clickbait. The whole point is to have his name in there to drive the outrage/views.
"Thin skinned". You need to read the article.
The harrasment was not about an article, but about Elon Musk targeting a thread she made from her personal account on social media.
And harrasement is not a valid response to anything at all.
Do you disagree that Elon Musk should condemn virulent, sustained harrasment in his name?
Huh, I tought it was his name on it because the harrasment happened when Elon Musk himself ponted his followers to these individuals, and he has never condemned their actions nor done anything to prevent them or reduce them.
It's fair. He's not that dumb. Whenever a famous person tweets a snide remark at someone, they're signaling for their followers to do the same thing.

Turns out all of Tesla's R&D are based on erroneous sources from Encyclopedia Dramatica and Uncyclopedia
Not sure how it's clickbait. Are they not followers of Musk? Are they not a mob of individuals seeking retribution?
You're not allowed to say anything apparently if you have a large following. The fact that shit like this gets labelled as "harassment" is why the term has lost a lot of its weight and meaning.
Ya she literally tagged him in a post and called him ignorant. What does she expect, that he is not allowed to reply to her?
She had 42,000 tweets before this but deleted them all because I guarantee she spends all day harassing people hoping to get one to respond so she can write an article about how she is a victim of sexism.
She is a journalist who had 14,000 followers and works on major publications. How is she just a normal person?
Milkshake Duck is for when a community thinks very well of someone they hardly know, but whose recent moment of fame invites people to find out that they are actually not very nice people. Milkshake Ducks don't come to reveal that they are bad people after being famous for a long time, but are revealed to be bad people because of the sudden search for further information about them after a short moment of perceived good will.
More than half of your 14 posts are about Elon. So you appear to be one of those Bros. So I don't think I can have a real conversation with you.
14k isn't a lot of followers, hell I have almost 10k and I'm pretty normal.
Making what up? All her tweets were deleted and she did tag Elon in her criticism.
I'm sure you could, it is just hard to defend clickbait articles
Anyone else find it hilarious that Musk is beefing with people working on nanotech, when Musk's main areas of focus are electirc cars, high-speed rail, and commercial space flight?
Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

hmm it's like there's a part of the post that I quoted that you didn't respond to here hmm
It's absurd because applications of nanotechnlogy are already highly relevant for aeronautical and automotive products. A brilliant (hobby)-engineer should know that.
I'll defend them as soon as you explain your obsession. Why are most of your posts about him? We have thousands of great threads here, and since October you've mainly focused on defending him. Very interesting.
Ah! The "profesional victim" excuse.
Anyway, you did not respond, so I'm going to ask again: do you disagree with the notion that Elon Musk should condemn harrasment done in his name?
Facts. He's not dumb guy. He knows how social media works, the good and the bad, and he should tell his followers to lay off with the harassment. He's suppose to be some inspiring, innovative celeb, but he can't be bothered to ask his followers and fans to be decent people.

Dafuq? Musk appears to have fallen deep into the "I'm successful at one thing (I guess twoish in his case) therefore I'm brilliant at everything and can never be wrong" hole.
User Banned (3 Days): Thread derailment, re-litigating old threads to start drama, conspiracy theories, victim blaming.
For some of the deleted tweets I've seem she has been personally attacking Musk for months. If she has a history of harassment it is a good guess that a good chunk of her 42K tweets also involved harassment otherwise why delete them all?
How'd you see deleted tweets. And why don't you share them with us. Maybe we can help you clear his name.
I've only ever posted on here on like 4 occasions. I have a big interest in technology, renewable energy and climate change. I like lurking this website because it is generally good but people just loss their minds whenever Elon Musk is brought up.
Maybe she deleted them because many would probably be personal things (e.g. stuff about her looks, friends, relationships) that a harassment mob could use as ammunition?
I don't think your guess is good at all
Nano tech is a relevant field of study. It's revolutionized literally everything(think tiny transistors). We need to take Musk to task on things like this. I'm also a staunch defender of the man as well but, I will call bullshit when I see it. That is what this is.
I also wonder what he thinks of quantum. That bullshit too?

No they aren't that's not how intent works. Also if you are a nobody don't @ a famous person to get noticed.
Criticism is not hate. Harrasment is not a proportional response to criticsm.
Oh, hey this twitter user thinks that the journalist doing her part for positive representation of women is a "training issue". Wow. What a great, unbiased source.

All appear to be out of context. Is she was being harassed already, it's easy to see why sheds tweet that stuff.
It's how Twitter works. And just look at his feed. He's retweeting stuff calling her out, which will lead to more hate. If you don't think he's aware of what he's doing then I don't know what to say. It's pretty obvious.
The context was the falcon heavy was a freaking test flight and she directly calls him gross and says he sent his dick into space in another conversation . Not someone that should be publishing an article on him as clearly she has some sort or personal misgivings towards him
In no way shape or form should she be harrased however that is completely unacceptable and inappropriate....maybe he needs to make a statement condemning harassment I don't know. He has 21 million followers, if even 1% of them are bad apples well
Yeah, but what was Musk responding to in the first tweet? That's the context. And in the second, her tweets with her opinion did not @ him. Journalists are allowed to have opinions, it is on the editor to make sure that what is published fits the publication standards.
All else aside, preventing journalists from reporting on topics if they have a preexisting dislike for the subject is something that sounds better in theory than it would work in practice.Editors and publications are responsible for making sure the content they post isn't tainted by bias, and journalists should keep their own bias in mind when writing on a subject, but a dislike for someone is not enough to disqualify a journalist from writing negatively about them. Trump is sort of the perfect example of this--he is waging war with journalists and so most will have personal misgivings. That doesn't and shouldn't disqualify them from writing about him.
If i remember correctly it was replying tona tweet about a political watchdog website he said did good work and tried to donate, politifact?
Would you agree her directly telling him he's the worst, and he's gross....is in fact not criticism but the very harassment she just wrote about. She wasn't critiquing SpaceX or Tesla which is fair game, those are direct personal attacks
