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.

The one part that’s a little bit messed up is that most people driving the cyber truck right now ordered it way back before Musk started his election interference and turning Twitter into a 4Chan styled financial black hole.

The only messed up part about that is that people "preordered" an overpriced, dumpsteresque, rolling mid-life crisis and then hung on to their reservation in the ensuing time either without following any of the news (including what a disaster the cybertruck was) or followed it and went ahead anyway with the $100k instant regret purchase.

Anyone dumb enough to consider the idea of spending house-loads of money on this stainless steel prep table and then going through with it years later deserves every bit of ridicule they receive.
