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, I kind of like the styling of it as a "Lol, why the fuck not" its stupid and fun, if you have the money why not. But I think some people take owning a Cybertruck as right wing virtue signaling, Musk certainly hasnt made himself any more popular since it was released, constant shenanigans at Tesla and the constant stories about issues with them.

Its gone from a weirdly designed car to a whole thing

The optics of owning a Cybertruck has certainly gotten worse, but even as just a "weirdly designed car", it was always going to garner a lot of attention.

It isn't like owning a Tesla, which was, for a while, just an expensive EV. The Cybertruck was always a shock factor vehicle.
