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.

Amen to all of that. I never did have the chance to buy one but that was my dream car for years, obviously until the recent betrayal.

But the larger point about companies making products - I feel like some serious reform needs to happen but I really have no idea where one would start. I do know that we need to be sure lawmakers aren't benefitting from the companies they're supposed to be policing, that'd be a massive start. But in the end, the free market as they sold it to us is a massive failure and gets worse every year and I just hope people realize that the 'socialism' they're demonizing is the thing that would most help make the economy more right for them.
