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.

your gender?
what the tangent are you talking about?
okay, you don't understand how manipulating software means voting machines could be compromised.
dang, really?
I'm going to try and analogize this....
okay, you can think about compromising a software program like physical sabotage.
so let's say you have an ice cream machine with two levers sticking out front that gives out chocolate and vanilla ice cream.
If you pull the chocolate tap, you'll get chocolate ice cream.
If you pull the vanilla tap, you'll get vanilla ice cream.
let's say you only like chocolate and have access to the inside of the ice cream machine.
so if you can get inside the machine, you connect both lovers to the chocolate press tab but remove the vanilla press tab, so now, pulling either the chocolate or vanilla will only dispense chocolate ice cream.
The machine might look normal on the outside, but now regardless of the input, it's giving you the output that you want.
so if you get inside something, you can change how it works, so that it gives you the result you want.
does that make sense?
you can do the same thing with a computer program.
you can go inside, change what it says, to do what you want.
Yes. My gender. Don't call me Jack.
Sugar, I'm an embedded software engineer. Try mansplaining tosomeone else.
The source code was leaked. It didn't say anything about compromized firmware being flashed.
go ahead and call me sugar, Jack.
Why is Jack used in a common phrase a gendered name to you?
do you get angry if people say "guys" to a mixed group?
your concerns seem unnecessarily exhausting. for you.
You don't get to police what gender people find acceptable to be called. You're closer to Trump's ideology than I am if you don't get that.
what are you talking about?
you called me sugar.
you are implying that you get to police what gender people find acceptable?
besides, I literally said those are the facts Jack.
which is a very common phrase and Jack isn't even a gendered name.
Why are you assigning gender to it?
"You're closer to Trump's ideology than I am"
Trump is obsessed with gender.
I'm not.
you seem obsessed with gender.
so who's closer to trump?
