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.

That's called "voting with your wallet". Everyone should do that! Here in Europe we tanked Tesla sales. Rich and poor - everyone can do what's right.
Not everyone's wallet has that kind of pull.
Here's the thing... there's more of us than there are of them. That's why they're so desperate to keep our collective attention elsewhere and to cause division or people might recognize just how strong they could be collectively.
Even collectively we might not have billions of dollars, but it doesn't take billions to crater a company or an industry. Just takes not paying into the system; it'll collapse on its own.
I get you can't boycott everything because you need food and water to survive, but people aren't helpless.
Luigi! This would get me banned on Reddit.
Blue Shell!
Dude, how do you think they got that money in the first place, bumming everybody out isn’t the move, please delete this post
Except now they have the banking system to give their money and they don’t need ours anymore, I think it’s well past the point of with our dollar. Just fucking look at Elon Musk he does not give a fuck, Twitter could go down to zero and he would still be the richest man on earth
Poor excuse.
It's just facts.

The wealth gap is getting worse at an exponential rate. How long until we all bust out the guillotines?
How's that relevant?
Hes saying that everyone single person who upvoted this post would have to convince millions of people each to stand a chance against the financial power that is held by billionaires.
Rich people love when idiots think that they can change the world by doing purely individualistic stuff. Even if you convince hundreds of people it wont change their margins by even 0.001%. Believing that markets have built in course correction that cant be completely dominated and steered by rich people is the biggest lie in the world.
Do individualistic stuff anyways, because every improvement matters and it might make you happy. But know that it requires more than that to make a significant difference.
Also every movement starts small. It might not matter much on an individual level but you gotta start somewhere.
Works well here in Europe. You've been blinded by Trump & Co propaganda.
No it doesnt, i have lived in Europe my whole life and its just as corrupt. The fucking german chancellor is a criminal involved in a huge tax evasion fraud. All big industries are friends with people in power and get huge amounts of taxes for no reason. As soon as a large company like VW loses money, they are bailed out with your taxes to keep it from going bankrupt. You can stop giving them your money, but the government will just do it for you by redirecting your taxes.
I don't understand you people. When you argue about where in the world there is least corruption, or where the wealth inequality is worst etc... Why don't any one of you look up the facts? Why both just bla bla whine bla argue bla debate for hours and nobody check the stats. Nobody cares about looking up the truth. Why? You could have a discussion about why x or y has more wealth inequality, expand the human understanding maybe, but you engage in some perverted yapping contest instead? Waste of time imo.
