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.

Murillo mentioned that during his commute, he usually checks his email while his vehicle is in Autopilot. However, on this day, he received a devastating message stating that his position had been eliminated.

Idiot is lucky he wasn't in a devastating crash. The company he worked for said not to do that.

This is exactly why I think the FTC needs to get on them for the names 'Autopilot' and 'Full Self Driving.' It's just false advertising.

Yup, until a manufacturer assumes legal liability like how Mercedes does, it is entirely misleading.

They fired him through an email? That's fucked up

Pretty common in shitty companies. Anyone with balls or the slightest bit of human compassion will tell you in person.
