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.

This is the most tone deaf decision. Missing shipping quotas, Cybertruck recall/delivery halt, cancellation of the Model 2, laying off 10% of your employees and what does all of this equate to in the eyes of the Board of Directors? Firing the CEO that caused most of these problems? FUCK NO let’s double down and prioritize an outlandishly large payday for Elon. Fucking hell this is ridiculous.

Wtf they cancelled the affordable model 2?

After laying off 10% of Tesla's workforce.

Guess we're about to see how stupid the shareholders are.

Nobody really talks about Kimbal, he’s the one pulling the strings.

I would more define Kimbal as cog in the clock of Elon. Everyone focuses on Elon, the face, but the true time keepers are the rest of the Musk family, Kimbal being one of those cogs.
