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.

I would LOVE to have kids one day. It is something my wife and I are looking forward to. We are just wanting to save up a few more moneys and it's a situation I realize we are fortunate to be in.

But we have waited so long and are waiting a little bit longer because of money because kids deserve experiences in life.

I'm sure it's incredibly easy for this lady to say "kids don't need nice things" while coming from a household that could afford everything this world has to offer.

Growing up I was lucky my dad worked extra hours so I could play sports. Up until 3 years ago (I am 29 now) I never was able to travel and never left my own state. Up until 1 and a half year ago I have never left the Country. All that to say there was a lot of anxiety and trauma I had to live with growing up. And I realize even still that some folks might consider me lucky.

In today's world, kids should never have to worry about where their food is coming from. What a detached worldview these assholes have if they're genuine.
