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.

In a hyperloop system, which uses magnetic levitation to allow near-silent travel, a trip between New York and Washington would take just 30 minutes - twice as fast as a commercial jet flight and four times faster than a high-speed train.

I see Musk propaganda wasn't wasted on Reuters.

Personally I preferred Bloomberg’s presentation but they’re paywalled to hell

Not surprising since it's Bloomberg. Just to clarify- I wasn't criticizing you, just Reuters.

I wasn’t criticizing you

No worries, I didn’t read it that way.

Don't worry, Thunderfoot's got a spicy take dropping in 3...2...

Oh, trains plus vacuums didn't work? What a surprise. Anybody with a primary school level understanding of physics knew this would happen.
