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.

Guy traveled an hour and a half each day, fuck that.

Also he found out he was fired 30 minutes into his drive and verified by his ex-boss, and still drove another hour to try and go to work‽

That is one way. He traveled 3 hours every day.

I'm not going to criticize the guy for having a long commute. Depending on where you live, that's really not unheard of. I had a 90 minute commute in L.A. for a job that was only about 30-40 miles away, but I really loved the job, so it was worth it to me.

Criticize the guy for buying into the Elon dream.
