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 imagine it includes the extraction, processing and delivery of the fuel?

From a rudimentary chemistry understanding, changing a lighter hydrogen atom for a heavier oxygen atom (burning hydrocarbon -> H2O + CO2) will increase the mass. I dunno how applicable that is in the real world tho

The atoms themselves aren't changing, you'd have to do fusion or fission for that. It's the molecules that are changing.

I meant "swapping" a hydrogen atom for an oxygen atom within a molecule as part of the chemical reaction of combustion.
I didn't explain it well, tho
