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.

Sometimes I wonder if the hard right wing turn was just to sell more trucks. You'd have to be a right wing cultist to want a cybertruck

But then I realize he's not that smart.

Doesn't really seem to work. Right wing guys still want a truck that makes the vroom noise and has smoke coming out of it. And the main constituency for electric cars ( smug liberals with a lot of money ) don't want to be associated with Musk so they'll buy a different brand (luckily other automakers have mostly caught up to Tesla now).

You lost it right here. It's normal people who don't want the world to burn.
