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.

If you’re rich enough to buy a tesla, you can find an electric car from another company that works too.

The alternatives are more expensive for less range, or just much less range. Or double the price for more range. Or should I buy a gas car and destroy the environment to mildly inconvenience Musk. Because his money is from stock, not from Tesla profits.

Despite what you were taught in high school, stock price doesn't reflect company profitability. If it did, Tesla's price would be 1/5 it's currently price.
