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.

Enough money to buy a Cybertruck, but not enough to pay for self driving? Do Teslas not even include free automatic braking for accident avoidance?
Accident... avoidance?
The thing is designed to dismember pedestrians, why would they want to avoid accidents?
As much as I hate Elon Musk, I prefer for my own sanity to believe that it wasn't designed to kill pedestrians, it's just that Elon is such an idiot that his version of The Homer was built without even considering them because that front just looked cool to Elon and he said they had to make it that way.
This is almost certainly true, but it doesnt mitigate the actual fact that the thing /is/ a nightmare for pedestrians.
At some point, someone on an engineering team or a corporation generally has to be... you know, responsible for the thing they designed?
At least thats the theory anyway. In practice this doesnt appear to matter if you have enough money and can lie and bribe people.
