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.

Americans have forgotten that a car is a tool to move you from one place to another quicker than walking. The only creature comforts you should need are air conditioning and an automatic transmission. Anything else is pure coddle.
Try driving twelve hours each way to see your family that lives in a town without bus, train, or air service. I doubt you'd still believe a sound system (with physical buttons) is unnecessary coddle.
I guess I'm not everyone but I can do it no problem, except it's about 17 hours with minimal stoppage. It's worse if you are alone in the car but still doable. Sometimes I put a single earbud in.
You forgot cruise control.
Damn right. Anyone who thinks you shouldn't have a car with cruise control has never driven a long trip with one. I don't think it's too much to expect to drive for 10 hours without your leg aching by the end.
