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.

Musk also claimed that "there have not been new car [brands] that have been successful for 100 years, apart from Tesla."

Some automotive brands that were founded in the last 100 years:

Chrysler (1924) Volvo (1927) BMW (1928) Datsun/Nissan (1931/1933) Fiat (1932) Toyota (1936) Volkswagen (1937) Jeep (1943) Land Rover (1948) Honda (1963)

Are you talking during production or after it's been sold? On the latter, lack of rusting will go a long way.

After it's been sold, or even on the lot surrounded by other vehicles coming and going all day. Even if it's driven down the road once, the front bumper will be pitted with rock marks.

Lack of rusting is great. Just hope you don't need any other sort of body work.

I highly, highly doubt it will be made entirely of ss. The dissimilar metals problem will be real. But it'll be branded 'electrolysis' which sounds more high tech than 'rust'
