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.

Oh how unfair. He busts his ass running 3 companies, running one more company into the ground, running around Trump’s club annoying everyone, arguing with everyone on twitter, attending major events, and he has enough free time left over to gain top 10 skills in multiple video games?

No. He does not. Is he cheating or just lying about everything?

My boss still believes he plays a major role in designing the rockets at Space-X. Surprisingly, my boss apparently isn't a child.

I’m good friends with someone who worked at SpaceX. It’s sort of an open secret that Elon has an entire team of people designated specifically to keeping him away from the engineers. Their entire job is to run interference and keep him distracted, so he can’t go marching into the engineers’ areas and ruin all of their work. Because apparently they have learned that if he is given free reign, he’ll tell the engineers to do a bunch of impossible shit, fire them all when they say they can’t, and then the management is left scrambling to hire new engineers.

That's quite funny but also very sad.

Which is a fun coincidence cos that's not dissimilar to how my boss "runs" our department lol

My only reference is an old reddit thread from someone who claimed to work there, but it exactly corroborates this.
