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.

I mean, the cybertruck could be interesting... if it wasn't hilariously expensive, and clouded my Elon Musk. Look at James May's amusing take, which sets that aside:

I, uh, appreciate that they took a risk with the styling instead of making it so samey like every other car on the market, even iif it didn't work out super well. It has some neat features. But I don't feel a ton of sympathy for people being shamed for driving one, as it's always been rather hypocritical, even before Musk really jumped into the deep end.
Right? It's definitely something different and I can't fault people for liking the look. The problem is the rest of the thing is also a poorly designed death trap from the ground up.
