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.

The cybertruck design is something that every 5 year old has drawn since cars were first invented.

I'll be honest. I really like it. Looks like an 80s vision of the dystopian future. I'm of a certain age and watched the right movies for it to appeal to me.

It's just a shame it's stainless steel not aluminium. Would have been significantly lighter, cheaper to make, easier to repair, available in different colours, and crumpled better in an accident.

Right now, it's too heavy to be legal to drive on a regular driving license where I live. That and I don't want to support Musk, so won't buy a tesla car till he's left the company.

Ha. I've said the exact same thing about what it looks like and that's why I don't like it.
