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.

Would I let him know that I'd rather have the car Homer Simpson designed instead of his, and that its not just the design that makes me feel that way? Absolutely.

Would I go out of my way to do so? Probably not. But if thr conversation went that way...

Would I spit on or key his car? Absolutely not. Thats weird as hell.

I would rather have The Homer too. Engineers worked hard to make sure The Homer did everything it was supposed to do.

Because that's exactly what it is. Successful car company let's a guy designing a car who isn't even qualified to write his own name
