Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Hating a billionaire for causing the world to be a worse place is not "obsessing over wealth". That's quite literally just bootlicker rhetoric to shield the billionaire class. Fuck all billionaires, but especially Musk.

There are so many better options out there that don't encourage the board to keep a racist, sexist, rightwing nut job in charge. It's not 2018 anymore, I encourage you to take a look at other options.

The last uber I was in was a Tesla (a Model Y) and it felt like the door was going to come off when I closed it. Not to mention the lack of buttons and the fact that you have to turn your body 45° and look down to see your current speed. Is that really the "best electric car on the market"? I really don't think you'd be saying that if you were actually willing to explore the market and leave the walled garden.
