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.

Because Ford is such an innovative company, right? Mustang, F-150, Explorer. If their other models disappeared, no one would notice.
I'm all for hating Musk, but the only difference Tesla and other companies is Tesla is younger. Hell, I was looking at buying an Ioniq 5. I went to the site, built one, and I get "There are zero vehicles nearby. Please look at similar vehicles near your location or contact your nearest dealer." Motherfucker I'm not paying $60k for "close enough to." Dealership shit needs to go. Put a price on the site and let me get what I order.
They were literally keeping Hyundai and/or Kia (can't remember which or both) cars on lots in Canada and not delivering then because the top level coprorate level didn't want to exceed their goals. They wouldn't release the cars to the dealers.
People were waiting months for cars because of that bullshit.
