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.

Musk had 6 mansions. He sold them all so he could supposedly just live by couch-surfing and sleeping in the office. Some sort of stupid attempt at humility, I guess. Looks like he realized he'd rather live in comfort and luxury. But not pay for it.

It's the classic 'i work long days without complaining, my workers should too!' His workers job is being on their knees at the coal face with pickaxe, his is playing golf and dining with rich buddies because they're going to mention work maybe.

Uh oh, outright stealing shareholder money. That can put you in prison for real.

Musk considers everone poor

But that’s only if you’re poor.

If you’re rich, you just pay the $10 fine.

You're just not smart enough to buy your footwear from the gardening department.

The company wrote algorithms about a decade ago to create “rosy” in-dash driving range estimates, Reuters reported a source as saying, and set up a “diversion team” to cancel range-related service appointments.

The carmaker deployed the team because its service centres were inundated with appointments from owners who had expected better performance based on the company’s advertised estimates and the projections displayed by the in-dash range meters of the cars themselves,..

Musk is a lying grifter. Everybody except his fan-cult are aware of that.
