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.

You think people who want a Cybertruck are intelligent? Or aren't willing to pay and extra 50k to get it now, instead of having to wait a year or more to get it after deciding?
That window has closed. People were willing to pay over sticker price for like a month after release because they wanted to be the first to have the car. Now the secondhand value has gone down to below the price of a new one.
I don't think that they are irrational, and that months of bad press has killed all the hype.
There are years of bad press and somehow people still bought it.
